<![CDATA[Let Comment Flags Keep Aligned]]>c71ff412-4d69-4d97-801b-8a43426a28de-image.png
When I press ctrl+q to comments the code lines, the comments flag “rem” not to be placed at the front of the line. Can you make it keeping aligned.
Just as follow:

Add this to the <Macros> section of your shortcuts.xml file:

        <Macro name="Col. 1 Remark" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="no" Key="75">
            <Action type="0" message="2349" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
            <Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="REM " />
        </Macro>

Key 75 is the letter K, so this adds a Ctrl-Alt-K keystroke to your configuration (you said Ctrl-Q, but my solution isn’t a toggle like that keystroke; if you want Ctrl-Alt-Q, change 75 to 81); message 2349 says to go to the beginning of the line (unconditionally, i.e. not just the beginning of the text on the line); and message 2170 says to type the given text - REM and a space (the forum won’t let me show the space in red here). If you edit other types of files this way, you can change to the comment string for whatever language you’re using, and assign a different key for that one.
