Line/Block Code Commenting

Post by Tardum »

It would be VERY useful if there could be some command similar to the one in edit plus (which I don't use or like) that allows commenting and uncommenting of blocks of code. The downfall with the way its implemented in edit plus is you always have to tell it the characters to use. It would be nice if it could just go off the syntax file being currently used to know the comment characters.

I know this is possible with macros, but a standard tool bar button written by ya'll would be slick.

Other then that I have no complaints with textpad, been an awesome tool for me at work. Thanks!

Yes, that would be a useful feature indeed. Makes one wonder what goes on behind the scenes to cause such a thing to be left out? hmmmm....

But for now, there is a sort of inelegant way to accomplish what you want in TextPad.
