How would it be possible to make Sublime to the following.

• When you are editing C-style comment

/**
  *
  */

… if you add new lines, via Enter key or copy-paste, the comment block would stay closed by automatically inserting * at the beginning of each new line:

/**
  * <-- press enter here
  */

result:

/**
  *
  * <-- automatically inserted, having indent intact
  */

Aptana Studio and other IDEs have had this feature for a long time.

I use a handful of keybinds that enable this behavior.

Thanks. Works great.

For anyone else looking, jsdocs is now DocBlockr: sublime.wbond.net/packages/DocBlockr

I am looking for the same behaviour as the original poster. I when I hit enter I would like ‘*’ be inserted in the next line.

I have downloaded DocBlockr. I am wondering if there is a way to enable this behaviour with DocBLockr. Currently it creates the closing / but does not add additional '’.

Thanks

Try this package:
packagecontrol.io/packages/DoxyDoc
It works for me!
