When refactoring we very often have to comment all variables of class functions in C++.
This is very time consuming when applying to function with large parameter count.
Would be fine if this can be automated by VA.

Are you familiar with the Document Method refactoring command? This is designed to help in exactly this situation:

You can even edit the format of the inserted comment block by editing the Document Method snippet.

I don't want to create a new thread, so I ask here.

It would be great to have option to comment every parameter by individual user input.
So if I would make this snippet:
// Parameter:	$MethodArgName$	$ParamDescription$
I would get input field $ParamDescription$ for every single parameter string.

Why would you want to do this? How would this help? If you have 6 parameters, then you would be prompted for 6 values. Surely it is easier to enter the information into the editor, which is designed for editing and entering text.

It's much easier and faster to just hit TAB to go to each input field and enter description than enter text in editor adjusting caret everytime.

Now this makes sense. We are considering the ability to have Snippets that need to prompt you expand inside the editor, so you could move through the fields to fill in with Tab, in a similar way to how IDE snippets work. This should help with what you are looking for here:
