Hello Meir,

Yes, the macro is designed to work on a single line of unselected text.
This is because in the rest of the situations we have the right-click -> Convert Selection > Comment/Uncomment functionality or you can pull these two buttons onto the toolbar.
Agin, the latter just does not work for a single un-highlighted line of code - hence the macro.

I must add, this creates some uncomfort for me - split, non-unified functionality .

Hope Yutaka is listening: I suggest a change to allow commenting code regardless of whether a line is highlighted/selected.

Thanks Arthur,

OK...

Hmmm! IMHO, the most desirable functionality is a single, toggle command which can be assigned a keyboard shortcut, working on the current line if none is selected or on all selected lines is. If any of these are already commented out, uncomment it!

Toggle, because obviously if it is already commented out, why would you want to comment it out again? Also in the opposite direction.

Yes I am sure Yutaka is listening. He always does, and that is not the least reason that I am using EE

My both thumbs are up for the proposed!

By the way your rephrase Meir: "Toggle" is the word and the way to go.

Because the code I'm editing already has comments that I want to keep. For example,



Using your idea, if I wanted to comment out that loop, I'd end up with



which would be wrong.

If I comment out that block, it should add additional comments on previously commented lines like



that way when I later uncomment it, it will be back the way it was when I started.
