Automatically continue comment blocks when pressing Enter within a comment block in the script editor

[just-like-that]

Describe the project you are working on

A block-based 2d game but any will do.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

I like to comment my method signatures with multiple lines.
At the first line I enter # for the beginning of the comment.
In the second and all following lines I've to do the same again and again ...

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

If the cursor is in a commented line and the user hits newline then the new line also starts with the comment #.
By doing so it's easier to write whole passages which spread over more than one line more fluently w/o having to add the # at the beginning.

UPDATE: Even more so if you are in the middle of a comment line and you press enter to make a word wrap.
Then I expect the editor to make two comment lines out of it because the origin was a comment already.

Like so:

     # indented comment about whatever and something special in particular

here comes the break at word "and".
This leads to two lines with the same indentation level as before:

     # indented comment about whatever 
     # and something special in particular

I know that their is the "-syntax too. I prefer the #s at the beginning of all lines.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

See above.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

It's an editor feature.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

It's an editor feature.

This behavior is sometimes useful, but it can also get in the way. Toggling this setting all the time depending on what you're doing isn't a good experience, so I'm not sure if many people will use this.

I suppose a compromise could be to only do this within documentation comments (## comments in GDScript).

Or another compromise is to go with the cursor to the next line after the comment section by pressing Enter which creates an empty newline right away.

Another possibility would be to remove the # character if the line is empty when pressing enter.

This way, tapping enter twice in succession would end the comment.

@just-like-that I'm not sure of we're talking about the same thing

Kate has Smart Newline feature: pressing Shift+Enter copies the beginning of the line to the first letter/number. It can be # , ## , // , /// , etc. Very handy.

This way, tapping enter twice in succession would end the comment.

Sounds good to me. Both works hand in hand.
Yours by "double entering" and mine by going to the first NOT commented line.
