In AE and AccuTerm, if I use a '!' to start a comment, the editor ignores that line, leaving where I put it as the author but it does align the '*' comments based on the options set. In the MVVS editor, the "indent.commentLine" option seems to be treating both '!' and '*' comments the same. If it's set to 'true' the comment gets indented the same as the previous line. If it's set to 'false', the comment line(s) are returned to the left margin. Is there a way with the current settings available to retain the capability of '! comments remaining in the position determined by the developer?

Below are examples:

indent.commentLine set to true, before Format with Rocket MV BASIC

      EQUATE CUSTOMER.SUFFIX TO 5

      *

!********

! This is the end

!********

indent.commentLine set to 'true', after Format with Rocket MV BASIC

       EQUATE CUSTOMER.SUFFIX TO 5

      *

      !********

      ! This is the end

      !********

indent.commentLine set to 'false', before Format with Rocket MV BASIC

      EQUATE CUSTOMER.SUFFIX TO 5

      *

!********

! This is the end

!********

indent.commentLine set to 'false', after Format with Rocket MV BASIC

      EQUATE CUSTOMER.SUFFIX TO 5

*

!********

! This is the end

Hi, Jeff.

Thanks for asking this question and I'm afraid currently there is no difference between '*' and '!' for formatting feature in our extension, I have logged an enhancement request for this and our engineers will do some research for this later, thanks.

Best Regards.

Charles.
