More than anything else I would like to have a multi-line comment system as in Java.
In editing an already programmed game to become a new game I often find it necessary to temporarily comment out groups of code lines. It is tedious to have to resort to editing in a semicolon at the front of each line to do this. When testing of the current form of the program is satisfactorily completed I usually wish to restore the edited out lines. This leads to yet another tedious editing session.
Please can we have the use of pairs of // symbol combinations, or some such notation, introduced to enclose lines which are to be ignored until removed? |

I'll sometimes keep a 'notepad' session open in order to cut and paste to and fro. It's not a perfect solution, but it works.

My editor, SynEdit, allows the user to define a language such as ZRF for example. You input a set of key words, as well as the delimiter characters for comments, stuff like that. The resulting plain text file looks color coded to me, and I can comment out a block of code with a single click. SynEdit is free at http://synedit.sourceforge.net/ |
