Hi guys,

For my first attempt at macros, I decided to try a PHP comment toggler. This is because I can only find existing functions in EmEditor to comment or uncomment, but not to do both in one keypress.

It basically just adds // to the beginning of the line if it’s not there, and removes it if it is. It should put the cursor back where it was before hand.

xPos = document.selection.GetActivePointX(eePosView);

	document.selection.StartOfLine();

	document.selection.SelectWord();

	str = document.selection.Text;

	if (str == '//'){

	     document.selection.Delete();

	     document.selection.CharRight(false, xPos-3)

	} else {

	     document.selection.Text = "//" + str;

	     document.selection.CharRight(false, xPos-5)

	}

I have NO idea if this is the best way to do it or not, but it works perfect for me. What it doesn’t do however is check every line – It only does the first. If anyone can extend its functionality to do that too it would be perfect for me. I suspect there’s also a function somewhere to get the current configuration’s comment and add that instead of the hard coded // that I’ve put in this?

I hope it’s of some use to some people?
