Description

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice] Shift Enter does not work properly for C# comments, very annoying if you're very used to use shift enter to insert a new line.

C# code within .cs file: Shift+Enter works (gives a new line) Comment (//) within .cs file: Shift+Enter behaves like Enter
