We have added several new convenience features that help work with comments and string literals in Ada code.

You can now use Shift-Enter to continue writing a multi-line comment, without having to type '-- ':

The same combination can be used to continue the writing of a string literal on the following line:

Sometimes, you may need to insert a string variable inside a string literal. You can use the Shift-Space shortcut to split the string literal at the cursor position, and simply type the variable name:

If you have copied the variable name into the clipboard, you can use the Shift-Control-V key shortcut to insert this name into the string literal at the cursor position - the splitting and quoting of the string literal is automated for you:

These new features will be available in GNAT Studio 23.0. We hope that these will help save time in your day-to-day work.
