Toggle Line Comments

hi @magiblot

Can we toggle line comments with CTRL-/ shortcut?

Hi @amay5267!

I may be able to add this, although it will certainly need a shortcut other than Ctrl+/ (since most Unix terminals don't support it).

What programming language do you need comments for?

[amay5267]

OK. C, CPP, Python.
I need
CPP single line comments
// cpp comment
Python
python # comment
And single and multi line comments in C.
/* C
you later */

This has been implemented this in 395c02f. The shortcut is Ctrl+Q, as in SciTE, but the behaviour is like in Kate. That is, it automatically chooses between line or block comments depending on the text selection:

• No selection: line comments (//)
• Whole lines selected: line comments (//)
• Selection beginning and/or ending in the middle of a line: block comments (/* */)

If the language supports just one kind of comment, then that's the one that is always used.

Works like a charm!

I had to change the shortcut for Toggle Comment to Ctrl+E because of #58. However, Ctrl+/ might also work.
