Sublime Text 2 Comment/Doc Block

Question

Recently, I decided to try out Sublime Text 2 as a TextMate alternative (which it is). I'm absolutely loving it but the only issue that bugs me is that it doesn't continue the PHP Comment/Doc Block upon pressing "Enter".

It just adds new blank lines instead of lines starting with "* " as seen here http://cl.ly/AFcP/o

Is there a solution to this? I tried doing a key binding for it but it was just too complicated for me, especially because I'm not too experienced with the editor.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

And now an even better solution has become available:

https://github.com/spadgos/sublime-jsdocs

It is called DocBlockr, and it has PHPDoc support. It automatically adds the doc block based on the function parameters. Nice...

Answer 2

Just had the same problem and wrote a little snippet. Since it is a keybinding it has to be stored in a .sublime-keymap File. If you're on a Mac just goto Sublime Text 2 > Preferences > Key Bindings - User or similar on some other OS.

Here is my Code:

[
{"keys": ["enter"], "command": "insert", "args" : {"characters": "\n * "}, "context": [
    {"key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": true},
    {"key": "preceding_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "\\/\\*\\*$", "match_all": true}
]},
{"keys": ["enter"], "command": "insert", "args" : {"characters": "\n* "}, "context": [
    //{"key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": true},
    {"key": "preceding_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "^[\t ]*\\*[^\\/]", "match_all": true}
]}
]
