Is there any way to have the line comment shortcut add a space after // in WebStorm?

Question

When using the shortcut for commenting a line of code (command / on a Mac), the code line gets a // added in front of it. (Pointing out the obvious for topic clarification).

Stylistically I would like to add a space between the // and the start of some code that I'm commenting out. i.e. make the comment leader when added // function foo() { rather than //function foo() { which is the default.

What I can't find is how to change this setting in JetBrains WebStorm (I've already tried trolling their website and the preferences etc with no success) - I've also run many searches (my google-foo is terrible!) but have yet to find how to change this setting.

Anybody know how (or if?) this setting can be changed?

As far as I'm aware it's not possible.
