Comments feature

[ytrewqytrewqytrewqytrewq1]

It could be useful the possibility to add inline comments to the decompiled code, to make easier the reversing process.

What sorts of comments do you expect? Please give an detailed example.

Sorry, I'll explain better:
a reverse engineer should be able to add to a specific line a inline/multiline comment which could be rendered as in the following image:

it could be linked to the specific line number or to a method and saved or in the jobf file or in an another file so that it could be reloaded when the same apk is reopened.
an action to add a comment could be added to the contextual menu opened when a right click is performed on a line.

an additional feature that I think could be useful is the possibility to refactor directly a method a field or a class using the right click on it. It is faster and intuitive than changing the jobf file.
P.S. maybe this feature should be in a separate issue
P.S.S it could be useful also the possibility to see also the smali code of a decompiled file

Having comments would be really helpful for reversing, 👍 on this feature

@skylot I'd like to add that once someone adds comments to the source, there should be a 'find usage' like sub-view to show all the comments. Please see #1085 for common shortcuts of both of the actions.

I hope that Jadx can add comments in places like this and save them permanently in the jobf file. @skylot

@ihbing this is already working, thanks to @skylot :)
Check out https://github.com/skylot/jadx/tree/code-comments branch. I'm hoping this to be merged soon.

@ihbing，由于@skylot：，它已经可以工作了：）
查看https://github.com/skylot/jadx/tree/code-comments分支。我希望很快将其合并。

I tested it and it was very good, thank you.
