Is there any chance of this being fixed soon?

I've used TextPad as my programming editor for years, and block commenting has become automatic: select block, hit alt-\. Done.

Now, select block and alt-\ has become select block and alt-\-o-crap-rightarrow-rightarrow-delete, and it is driving me ...

I just upgraded from TP5 to TP7.0.9.

I have used the following regex substitution (stored as a macro) for years to comment out selected blocks of code:

find: ^
replace with: #


I just upgraded to TP 7.0.9, and this substitution broke: it now adds the # to the start of the following line ...

Jens, I like your idea very much, can you please recommend where to find a grep for Windows?

GNU utilities for Win32, at http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

HTH.
