Description lukas.eder 2016-01-03 13:39:39 UTC 
When hitting the "Home" key on a Windows machine within the scope of a comment, I'm expecting the cursor to go to the beginning of the interesting content, not to the left of the comment character. This is true for block comments, Javadoc, as well as single line comments. Example (where | illustrates the cursor:

    // content here|

    /*
     * content here|
     */

Click "home" should lead to:

    // |content here

    /*
     * |content here
     */

instead of:

    |// content here

    /*
    |* content here
     */
