[SOLVED] Comment continuation?

I may be losing my mind or confusing IDEs ...
I thought there was a way to continue commenting by pressing
Ctrl+Enter or something like that, no?
In case what I said doesn't make sense, consider this simple example:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i //This is a
comment. I wish I could press Ctrl+Enter after the period, and have
the next line start with two slashes ... 
Thoughts?

Menu: Tools > Options
Page: Editor > Tab and indent

There is a section "slash", and if you enable it, then comments will
be continued when you press enter.

You can set up to continue, only if they match a certain pattern, or
specific conditions.

Thanks, Martin! I'm sane again!
Incidentally, I've had to choose the option "Extend if matched or not
matched to make it work...

If you're knew to Laz IDE and are unfamiliar with the editor's
options, you'll find it under the main Tools menu. I've added a
snapshot of the area where you can enable this feature since it's
tucked away and is easy to miss (at least for me!) ...
