I'm noticing that in K1, context receivers are placed before the function definition. Are there any plans to change this in K2? It leads to code that seems a bit confusing like

context(Something)
@Annotation
fun myFunction() { ... }

especially with how intellij colors context the same as other keywords

[s3rius]

You mean that it's placed before annotations?

[kirillrakhman]

The canonical way to write this would be

@Annotation
context(Something)
fun myFunction() { ... }

Not sure if being able to place the annotation in the middle is a bug or a feature.

Did you write the function yourself or did the IDE generate it, e.g. for an override?

[martmists]

This is the current behavior in K1:

whereas this is perfectly fine

[kirillrakhman]

Could you please report an issue, this seems to be a bug.

[martmists]

Seems already reported as KT-51258

[kirillrakhman]

Correct, thank you.

I still would like to know if annotating context is a valid use case too

[Javier]

You can annotate parameters individually, but you cannot annotate the group of them. So allowing annotating context could break the coherence there

[kirillrakhman]

I don't think it's intended to be able to annotate the whole group. Most likely, the annotation will just be applied to the function/property.
