However the more I think about it, the more I think that the current behaviour with (what you might call sloppy multi-line selection), for indent/dedent and comment/uncomment is not very helpful. Indeed I can't understand what need the current behaviour serves (i.e. should be treated as a bug).
I comment selections now and then (usually at the end of a line). I agree that use cases for doing this on multiple-line selections are less common, but even there it can come in handy. CSS is a prime example, since it only has block style commenting.
.one {
padding: 0em;
}
.two {
padding: 1em;
}
If I wanted to comment out the “one” class and selected the first three lines, I would end up breaking the “two” class.
/*.one {
padding: 0em;
}
*/.two {
padding: 1em;
}
So I get around this by selecting everything but the newline.
