I was wondering if the
comment-dwin (M-;) command could be changed that if i am anywhere in the line the whole line is commented and not a
comment started from the end of the line. based on the idea found in a mailing list i altered the command with
;; http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/emacs-devel@gnu.org/10971693.html
(defun comment-dwim-line (&optional arg)
(interactive "*P")
(comment-normalize-vars)
(if (and (not (region-active-p)) (not (looking-at "[ \t]*$")))
(comment-or-uncomment-region (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position))
(comment-dwim arg)))
(global-set-key "\M-;" 'comment-dwim-line)add this to your .emacs file and enjoy.
