Hi,

There seems to be some missing statements in the standard d.vim that gets distributed with vim regarding auto-commenting.
Whenever I am in a multiline comment for example a ddoc statement and start a new line by hitting the Enter key, the result is an indentation of 1 on the new line and no comment char unlike the syntax in normal c and cpp files. It doesn't matter if the comment start was with '/**' or '/++'.

I took a look at the runtime/syntax/c.vim for hacking the auto-commenting out of that file and putting it in d.vim. But I am not familiar with any of those calls.
I was wondering if someone who is more familiar with Vimscript can tell me what lines or quick fix I need to put in the syntax file to get the auto-commenting to work for d editing.

Have you tried https://github.com/JesseKPhillips/d.vim? I'm not sure if
the issues you mentioned are fixed there, but if they're not I
suggest you open issues on that repo. Last time I contributed there
the author was helpful & responsive.

Thanks for the reply.
I did take a quick peek at that repo. It supplies the d.vim that gets distributed with vim and it seems there is also an old issue that addresses the same/similar problem.

I suggest you ping the maintainer there. Perhaps he forgot about it, or he didn't have time to investigate it back when it was reported.
