Intellij comment format

Question

Now, I am using the default configurations, and the "//" is displayed at the first column when I press the "command" + "/", see the second line in the picture.

How can I change configuration to display the "//" at the start of the code and following with a space? Just like the first line.

Answer 1

There is an option in: Code Style > Java > Code Generation > Comment Code

With "Line comment at first column" you can switch between:

    //System.out.println("");
//  System.out.println("");

So, you don't have a 'space' after comment (in first line), but its close enough :)

Idea 2017.2+

Recent versions of IntelliJ IDEA support adding a space after the line comment. The setting is at the same location.
