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.

I want my first line at the top of the console to look like this:
, but mine looks like this, and it's long:
How can I shorten it to like the first picture?
I'm watching Java tutorials on youtube and their first lines ("C:\programs Files\Java\jdk\whatever"...) are always so short and pretty with 3 cute dots in the end, but mine is long and annoying.
You can define the lines which should be folded:
Right click on that line in the console
Choose "Fold Lines Like This"
Click OK
You can also define special keywords/phrases in this menu, where lines, which contains the phrase will be folded with ellipsis (...) at the end.
See the ConsoleViewImpl.java file in the source code of IntelliJ IDEA
This line (execution command) will be automatically hidden in case the string length is more than 1000 symbols.
So, once you add something to the execution command (for example by adding libraries), the execution command is folded automatically.
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 know how to convert indent for a single file. I go to edit -> convert indent -> space/tab.
But I want to do this for all files under a directory.
I try click on a directory and then go to edit -> convert indent, but the options are grayed out.
You can use the shortcut Ctrl+ALT+L (Windows/Linux) or ⌥⌘+L (MAC OS X) and select the Rearrange entries option to reformat the code in the current file or reformat a module or directory.
You can also Right-click a module, file, or directory from the context menu and select Reformat Code and also select the Rearrange entries option.
This will convert the indents for all files/directories selected:
This works on most of the Jetbrains IDES (iDea, PyCharm, WebStorm, RubyMine, and so on.)
It seems there is no such dedicated option in IntelliJ, but you could just work around it using a "low-level" Replace All action.
Open the Edit → Find → Replace in Files... dialog
In case you want to convert spaces to tabs, you should
Enter in the Find field (i.e. four spaces (or whatever number of spaces the project is currently indented with))
Press the Regex search modifier (Alt + X)
Enter \t in the Replace field
NB: In case you have valid strings with 4+ spaces in them, they will get replaced too. In most use cases, however, this is not happening.
In case you want to convert tabs to spaces, you should do the same as above, but swap the Find and Replace field contents
NB: Again, if you have valid strings with tabs in them, they will get replaced too. I haven't had this use case, because I've only needed to convert in the opposite direction.
You will probably also want to set a File mask in order not to replace spaces in code-irrelevant files
I have an SQL export file from my server with comments. The line comment operator used was the hashtag #. Notepad++ does not treat this like a commented out line, as in, the color does not change and any words such as like and while are changed to bold blue.
When you run the script on the server to install the SQL, it runs fine, the comments are treated as they should be. How do you tell NPP that the # operator is supposed to comment out the line? Both show the color and have Ctrl-k add a # in front of the line.
Note: I added commentLine="#" in the langs.xml file with no luck.
View -> User defined Dialogue -> Comment & number -> Comment Line
There you type in "#"
Before this you need to define a new language in the upper buttons.
What means, that the whole rest of the syntax isn't highlighted anymore.
But you could define it that way, how you want to. So you have an individual Syntax Highlighting including the commenting via "#"
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).
