ABAP ADT: Add pattern for comment line

[thkolz]

Hi there,

just switching to ABAP ADT development.

One thing that really bothers me (although it's a small detail):

In SE80 I was used to add comment lines like

*--------------------------------------------------------------------*

But now in ADT the code completion just gives me

**********************************************************************

Can I somehow add the SE80 comment line template into ADT?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Thorsten.

You can just create an own Template.

Go to Preferences and search for Templates:

Hi Florian,

I've already tried that.

But what do I need to put as a pattern?

I've tried *---------------------------------------------------------------------

but it doesn't propose me something when I type *-

Best regards!

Ok, now I've understood the concept:

If I name a template commentLine, I can using it by typing e.g. 'com' and press CTRL+Space.

I thought that I could use '*--' and then press CTRL+Space.

So actually you need to know the template name in order to use it.

Hi

Use CTRL + 7 and then try to draw line as you like. it will comment the line first and then you can draw a line later on. that's an easy way .
