When I write a comment, it's often a paragraph or a few lines that explains clearly what a bit of code is doing and why it's doing that.

What I'd like is if I could start a comment, and have the editor automatically insert a line break and continue the comment to the nest line when I reach, say, 80 characters long.

So I'd type:

// Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. < here the editor breaks automatically and continues onto the next line: >

// Etiam congue quam eget leo dignissim tincidunt.
