This was originally a feature from the Blueprint Assist Plugin, a plugin that provides automatic formatting and mouse-free node editing when working with blueprints (coming soon!).

Building for your version of UE4 (tested with >4.18)

Prerequisites: Setup your environment so that you can build a C++ UE4 project

1. Create a new C++ project
2. Create a folder named Plugins in the root of your new project (see below)
3. Clone the repo into the plugins folder, so that you get Plugins/AutoSizeComments

Your project folder should look like:

ProjectName
    \.vs
    \Binaries
    \Config
    \Content
    \Intermediate
    \Source
    \Plugins
        \AutoSizeComments
    \ProjectName.sln
    \ProjectName.uproject

4. Open the .uproject and it should prompt you to rebuild the plugin
5. Hopefully the build succeeded!
6. (Extra) Install the plugin to the engine by moving the AutoSizeComments folder to the plugins folder (Epic Games\UE_4.20\Engine\Plugins) under your installation of UE4.
