Auto-comment will exclude existing comments

[szhorvat]

Consider code like this:

foo (* comment *)
bar

If I use the block-comment shortcut on it, I get

(*foo *)(* comment *)(*
bar*)

This is not ideal for Mathematica, as unlike some other languages, it allows nesting comments. Furthermore, uncommenting with the same shortcut leads to

foo  comment 
bar

The better outcome would be

(*foo (* comment *)
bar*)

or similar.

The same applies to the line-comment shortcut as well.

I need to look into this, but the whole commenting/uncommenting logic comes from the IntelliJ API. I merely provide the tokens for starting and ending a comment.

I agree that the current situation is not optimal but I will push this back as "enhancement".
