Folding multiline comment

How to adding function to fold comment like this in .ahk
/*
comment 1
comment 2
...
*/

I have this on my system. Would you look at the pictures and let me know if that's what you meant?

I noticed my comments have the star preceding the in-between lines like ' * additional lines in between'. I'm going to look into this.

Hi @fekfoq259! I got both cases working. I'm still learning Github and will look into how to do a pull request and submit it.

I've just tried in my code, but apparently it doesn't have comment folding. Maybe it's an added functionality from other extension? (I don't have colored comments). I put my cursor right between of the /* and the 62 line but nothing appears, nor the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+ ' works.

Gday mate,
VSCode automatically supports codefolding for anything indented.
With multiliner's you can indent your comments to fold as expected.

PS. If you look at styleguides from the likes of Google or Amazon, you will see their multiline comments often look like:

/*
 * My Function
 * TODO: Write Function
 */

They will line up nicely then, and also automation will pick them up better as a bonus 😇

BTW
This repo looks a bit quiet, but I have proposed a PR for supporting ;region ... ;endregion comments on the forked version of this plugin, if that helps!

You can edit ahk.configuration.json to include this:

    "folding": {
      "markers": {
          "start": "^\\s*\\;\\s*region\\b",
          "end": "^\\s*\\;\\s*endregion\\b"
      }
    }

cheers!
