Change comment Indentation Xcode

Question

The default behaviour for the Xcode comment keyboard shortcut is to place // at the far left of the selected lines regardless of indentation.

I'd like to change this so that the indentation is taken into account and the // is inserted just before the text to comment.

For example:

class MyClass {
    func myFunc() {
//        cmd-/ does this
        // I want cmd-/ to do this
    }
}

Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can use the Comment Here extension. After downloading:

1. Restart Xcode
2. Go to Xcode -> preferences -> key bindings
3. Search for "Comment Selection" and remove the key binding for it
4. Search for "Comment Here" and add the key binding "command /" for the toggle comments option.
5. Your comments are now pretty :)
