Comment-dwim-2

comment-dwim-2 is a replacement for the Emacs' built-in command comment-dwim which includes more comment features, including:

• commenting/uncommenting the current line (or region, if active)
• inserting an inline comment
• killing the inline comment
• reindenting the inline comment

As its name suggests, comment-dwim-2 picks one behavior depending on the context but contrary to comment-dwim can also be repeated several times to switch between the different behaviors.

Demo

comment-dwim-2 repeated 3 times:

How to use

comment-dwim-2 is not bound to any key, so you need to set up you own keybinding first. For instance:

(global-set-key (kbd "M-;") 'comment-dwim-2)

Installation

This package can be installed from MELPA.

Detailed use cases

Commenting/uncommenting the region

Commenting current line

Uncommenting current line

Insert comment (repeated twice)

Kill comment (repeated twice)

Reindent comment (called with a prefix argument)

Customization

An alternative behavior closer to what comment-dwim does is available. To use it, add this to your init file:

(setq comment-dwim-2--inline-comment-behavior 'reindent-comment)

It basically swaps the killing and reindenting behavior, which means that repeating comment-dwim-2 will by default reindent the comment instead of killing it, and that calling comment-dwim-2 with a prefix argument will kill the comment instead of reindenting it.
