Feature Request : Duplicate & comment

Hello Chad,

What do you mean by "^d is not really line smart"? I would expect using "duplicate
line" + "line comment" to achieve the task, what's wrong with this approach?

You can also write a macro:

Sub DuplicateAndComment()
DTE.ExecuteCommand ("ReSharperAddIn25.DuplicateText")
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.CommentSelection")
End Sub

Then assign macro to your favorite shortcut.

Sincerely,

Hello Ilya,

What I mean by "line smart" is that you have to select your last line's CR
otherwise you have to do a manual CR before commenting. Now I know this is
by design but when you do a multi-line select the chances are 99% that you
want the lines plus their respective CRs. Easy way to illustrate this would
be to select a couple of lines from the end of the last line to the top,
do a ^d and your duplicated text would be appended at the end of your last
selected line.

For now I'll just get into the habbit of making sure that I have all the
CRs in the selection. I should have titled this "Duplicate and Comment Lines".
