If you are happy with the reformatting, fair enough.
But sometimes the result is... funny. You can try with GNAT's own files (a-=
textio.ads to begin with).

Sure, but the "--" doesn't need to be at the very beginning of the line.
However the latest GNAT Studio does take indentation into account for comme=
nting - that's good news!

That's cool, but as you say...

Yep. Especially the multiline cursor is vertical if you want it to be so (l=
ike Alt + draw the mouse up/down), even through lines that would be too sho=
rt otherwise. An example: if I do, with GPS, Shift + Alt + down arrow 5 tim=
es from the point marked with a '*' on this:

    case Composite_Data_Opcode (ND.IR.F) is
      when k_Array_Index_Element_Size_1*
      when k_Array_Index
      when k_Record_Field_Offset
      when k_Load_Block
      when k_Copy_Block
      when k_String_Literal_Assignment
    end case;

and type " =3D> ", I get:

    case Composite_Data_Opcode (ND.IR.F) is
      when k_Array_Index_Element_Size_1 =3D>=20
      when k_Array_Index =3D>=20
      when k_Record_Fiel =3D> d_Offset
      when k_Load_Block =3D>=20
      when k_Copy_Block =3D>=20
      when k_String_Lit =3D> eral_Assignment
    end case;

Ouch...
