Suggestion: Provide a delimiter for comments
idbrii opened this issue · comments
I often have trouble using regular expressions with easy-align and I think I've tracked it down to #53: it's probably always with aligning comments.
Could easy-align provide a comment delimiter that uses commentstring
to determine the pattern?
Something like this:
" Provide a / delimiter for the current filetype's comment marker.
augroup easyalign_comment
au!
au BufEnter * let g:easy_align_delimiters['/'] = { 'pattern': substitute(&commentstring, '%s.*', '', ''), 'ignore_groups': ['!Comment'] }
augroup END
I'm having problems figuring out how to comment this
/* TCP A TCP B */
/* 1. CLOSED LISTEN */
/* 2. SYN-SENT --> <SEQ=100><CTL=SYN> --> SYN-RECEIVED */
/* 3. ESTABLISHED <-- <SEQ=300><ACK=101><CTL=SYN,ACK> <-- SYN-RECEIVED */
/* 4. ESTABLISHED --> <SEQ=101><ACK=301><CTL=ACK> --> ESTABLISHED */
/* 5. ESTABLISHED --> <SEQ=101><ACK=301><CTL=ACK><DATA> --> ESTABLISHED */
/* Basic 3-Way Handshake for Connection Synchronization */
/* Figure 7. */
I use tpopes commentary to make these comments.
@matthiasdebernardini Looks like the *
in cpp's commentstring
needs to be escaped.
Try this in the augroup I posted above:
au BufEnter * let g:easy_align_delimiters['/'] = { 'pattern': substitute(escape(&commentstring, '*'), '%s.*', '', ''), 'ignore_groups': ['!Comment'] }
