(If you select partial lines, > it may also split them if the current mode only has end-of-line > comments.) IMO, `comment-dwim' is an inferior command. It's OK for end-of-line commenting, and I use it (only) for that. (And the command that `M-;' was bound to by default before `comment-dwim' was just as good for end-of-line commenting.) For block commenting, `comment-dwim' doesn't let you nest and unnest a given level of commenting, and control the number of comment chars used, etc. For block commenting, `comment-region' is much better. And better still, I think, is the command I posted a few minutes ago, `comment-region-lines'. > FWIW I agree with you: a region that ends at the physical start of > line, before indentation, should not be considered to include that > line. FWIW, I too agree about this.
