*Not* continue comment on enter

[lambda-dom]

In the newest Helix version, if I am in insert mode in a comment line and hit enter, it continues the comment, e.g. using Haskell line comments for illustration (^ denotes cursor position):

-- a comment.^

Hitting enter, produces

-- a comment.
-- ^

But I want:

-- a comment.
^

Backing out to normal mode and hitting o also produces the same effect; in other words, the only way now is to "undo" the comment. Is there a keybinding available which I managed to not find? Or can one be made?

You can turn the feature off: https://docs.helix-editor.com/master/editor.html#editor-section

# ~/.config/helix/config.toml
[editor]
continue-comments = false

Ideally I would like to be able to use the feature at my discretion

You can also create keybindings to create a newline without adding a comment token:

[keys.normal.g]
O = ["open_above", "delete_word_backward"]
o = ["open_below", "delete_word_backward"]

[keys.insert]
A-ret = ["insert_newline", "delete_word_backward"]

This is what I use and it's quite effective

Thanks.

Would the delete backward command not also copy the comment token into the default register?

Just came across this, thanks!
