I've been searching for a while without finding the way to quickly comment with a shortcut in the dbtCloud IDE. This would be really useful and save me a lot of time.
As far as you know, is there any shortcut to comment a line ? Several lines ?
Control K C will comment a line or block of lines.
Control K U will uncomment a line or block of lines.

Hello I want to know any trick or shortcut by which one can know which is the longest file in project.
i.e which file has the longest lines of code.Is there any shortcut or plugin available?
I believe the OP was asking about the length of file, not the length of single line. You can try with such iteration:
(.*\n){100,}
(.*\n){1000,}
(.*\n){10000,}
Although this is kind of hacky it still works.
You can search your whole project using the regex repetition pattern. Just right-click your project folder in the project structure view and choose "Find in path...". Be sure to check "Regex" in the search window that appears.
So you'll start out and match any line with any length in your project
^.$
(If you're not familiar with regex: ^ and $ are used to denote the beginning and end of a line and . matches any character)
Then you gradually increase the number of matched repetitions
^.{1,}$
^.{10,}$
^.{100,}$
^.{1000,}$
(You use {start, end} to indicate to interval of repetitions. If you leave end blank it will match anything from start)
Using this you will soon be left with the longest line(s) in your project.
As I said it's kinda hacky but it's also quick and works if you don't have to automate the task.
Hope this helps you!
I would like to be able to remove whitespace and newlines for a block of code/text.
A single line is sometimes easier to copy paste into cli tools.
I currently do this using find and replace on whitespace and newlines, but is there a faster way?
Found this after a bit of digging in the keymap:
Join lines: Ctrl+Shift+J
It even handles multi-line comments.
Is there any way to force comments to span multiple lines in a CMakeLists.txt and cpp files?
NOT
# So that really long comments that would not normally be split across multiple lines like this one, which look really annoying in git commit history or other editors which do not text wrap like the one on stack overflow . . . .
BUT
# So that really long comments
# end up split across multiple
# lines like this?
In the Edit menu, there is a command to join lines. I effectively want the inverse of this function, so that the comments wrap at the thin vertical line displayed in the editor showing max width.
Soft Wrapping does this for you.
on OSX
CLION -> Preferences -> Editor -> General -> Check Use soft wraps in editor.
Probably quite a niche question, but I believe in the power of a big community: Is it possible to set up jEdit in way, that it automatically inserts a comment character (//, #, ... depending on the edit mode) at the beginning of a new line, if the line before the wrap was a comment?
Sample:
# This is a comment spanning multiple lines. If I continue to type here, it
# wraps around automatically, but I have to manually add a `#` to each line.
If I continue to type after the . the third line should start with the # automatically. I searched in the plugin repository but could not find anything related.
Background: jEdit has the concepct of soft and hard wrap. While soft wrap only breaks lines visually at a character limit, it does not insert line breaks in the file. Hard wrap on the other hand inserts \n into the file at the desired character count.
This is not exactly what you want: I use the macros Enter_with_Prefix.bsh to automatically insert the prefix (e.g., #, //) at the beginning of the new line.
Description copied from Enter_with_Prefix.bsh:
Enter_with_Prefix.bsh - a Beanshell macro for jEdit
that starts a new line continuing any recognized
sequence that started the previous. For example,
if the previous line beings with "1." the next will
be prefixed with "2.". It supports alpha lists (a., b., etc...),
bullet lists (+, =, *, etc..), comments, Javadocs,
Java import statements, e-mail replies (>, |, :),
and is easy to extend with new sequence types. Suggested
shortcut for this macro is S+ENTER (SHIFT+ENTER).
Just a question of interest: Does anyone know why there's no block comment capability in VB .NET? (Unless there really is - but I've never yet come across it.)
It is a side-effect of the Visual Basic syntax, a new-line terminates a statement. That makes a multi-line comment pretty incompatible with the basic way the compiler parses the language. Not an issue in the curly brace languages, new-lines are just white space.
It has never been a real problem, Visual Basic has had strong IDE support for a very long time. Commenting out multiple lines is an IDE feature, Edit + Advanced + Comment Selection.
Totally abusing compiler directives here... but:
#If False Then
Comments
go
here
#End If
You don't get the benefits of proper code coloration (it doesn't show in green when using the default color scheme) and the implicit line-continuation system automatically indents lines in a paragraph starting at the second line. But the compiler will ignore the text.
As can be read in “Comments in Code“ there isn't any other way:
If your comment requires more than one line, use the comment symbol on each line, as the following example illustrates.
' This comment is too long to fit on a single line, so we break
' it into two lines. Some comments might need three or more lines.
Similarly, the help on the REM statement states:
Note:
You cannot continue a REM statement by using a line-continuation sequence (_). Once a comment begins, the compiler does not examine the characters for special meaning. For a multiple-line comment, use another REM statement or a comment symbol (') on each line.
Depending on how many lines are to be ignored, one can use compiler directives instead. It may not be technically equivalent to comments (you don't get the syntax coloring of comments, for example), but it gets the job done without commenting many lines individually. So you just add 3 more lines of code.
#Const COMMENT = "C"
'basically a false statement
#If COMMENT = "Y" Then
'code to be commented goes between #If and #End If
MsgBox('Commenting failed!')
#End If
This is assuming the purpose is for ignoring blocks of code instead of adding documentation (what "comments" are actually used for, but I also wouldn't mind using compiler directives for that).
The effort required however, makes this method inconvenient when there are just around 10 lines to comment.
