M-; should start a comment on an empty line

[NateEag]

With the default setup from

(evilnc-default-hotkeys)

pressing M-; does nothing in the following situation (where | is the cursor):

|
(setq some-var nil)

It would be convenient if it started a new comment.

It handles the inverse operation correctly:

;; |
(setq some-var nil)

followed by M-; yields

|
(setq some-var nil)

why you want to comment out an empty line, if you comment multiple lines containing empty line, that line will be commented out? or you can ignore empty line when operating on multiple lines.

the behavior is actually controlled by Emacs, insert below code into ~/.emacs

(setq comment-empty-lines t)

It's an easier way to start a new comment. I had it working in a previous commenting setup.

(setq comment-empty-lines t)

does not change this behavior for an unselected empty line.

Got, give me a few minutes.
