Re: Auto Fill Comments

[daniela-spit]

This is what I use.  I find no good reason to use c-mode-common-hook.

(defun break-comment ()
   (setq-local comment-auto-fill-only-comments t)
   (auto-fill-mode 1))

(add-hook 'sh-mode-hook          #'break-comment)
(add-hook 'fortran-mode-hook     #'break-comment)
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook  #'break-comment)
(add-hook 'texinfo-mode-hook     #'break-comment)

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook       #'break-comment)
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook     #'break-comment)
(add-hook 'awk-mode-hook     #'break-comment)
(add-hook 'R-mode-hook       #'break-comment)
(add-hook 'octave-mode-hook  #'break-comment)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook    #'break-comment)
