script editor comment/uncomment

[Wchris]

ability to comment/uncomment a selected group of lines in the script editor.

 

I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one that often comment/uncomment lines when testing.

 

This feature competes in the category "less than 5 minutes to add )

It's done like this in Lua:

I doubt he means this

 

I more believe he means a 2 menu items (toolbox and contextmenu) where you can comment/uncomment a bunch of code with just one click. Take a look at Visual Studio where this feature is embedded. (Blide has it as well, also most other IDEs).

I know

well maybe it's just me, but I get used to do it in just one click in other editors.

 

it's just a loop on selected lines, if there's no -- at the beginning of the line you add it, if the -- is already there you remove it.

 

it may sound superfluous at first glance, but if you add 100 such little features you'll get a friendly editor.

 

EDIT: Klepto just explained it wery well. Thanks

You might want to add the comment no matter what because in a chunk of code you are trying to comment out there might already be comments and when you uncomment the chunk you wouldn't want to uncomment the original comments.

I'll add this.
