So you would like your comments to start in column 80? Sounds like you started programming career using COBOL. This was a language who's format was determined by the layout on punched cards. Ah! good old COBOL. This was the language I first learned seriously. And despite all it's oddities I still have a soft spot for it.
Sorry but Gambas 2 reformats the line for you. I do not think you can turn it off. So you are going to spend all your time editing comments if you keep trying to line them up at column 80. Gambas version 1 reformatting of a line is less intense, but you are still going to have problems.
By the way in Gambas 2 you can experiment with the Gambas code editor
- Create a new project
- Make sure the gb.qt.ext component in your project
- Add a Editor control to your form
- Set the Highlight property to Gambas
Run the project and then play with the options. This is the same editor that is used in the Gambas 2 IDE.
