Clang-Formatter and Aligned Comment Toggler

Clang-Format Aligned Comment Toggler

Toggle // line comments while maintaining absolute vertical alignment, matching VS Code's intuitive commenting behavior right inside your Eclipse IDE!

Unlike Eclipse's built-in "Toggle Comment" command—which often drops markers rigidly at column 0 and breaks code formatting—this plugin intelligently calculates the minimum indentation of your selected block and aligns all comment markers perfectly.

Key Features & Rules:

• Smart Block Alignment: For multi-line selections, every non-blank line is commented at the exact same column (the minimum indentation found in the block). Code nested deeper than the minimum keeps its extra indentation, preserving readability.
• VS Code Parity (Mixed Lines): If a selection mixes commented and uncommented lines, the plugin safely comments everything by prepending a fresh // . It will double-mark already commented lines (e.g., // // code();) rather than awkwardly stripping them, ensuring you never lose your original comments.
• Clean Reversal: Toggling off strips exactly // plus one following space (if present), flawlessly round-tripping your code back to its original text.
• Whitespace Aware: Blank lines are ignored when deciding whether to comment or uncomment, and are excluded from the minimum indentation math so they don't break your alignment.
• Single-Line Precision: When used on a single line, the marker is inserted immediately after the leading whitespace.

Perfect for C/C++ and Java developers who want cleaner code toggling without disrupting their Clang-Format alignment rules!
