Provide separate commands/toolbar buttons for single line and block commenting in the source code editor
Regarding single line and block commenting, I think it's better to have separate buttons/commands for block commenting and for single line commenting. This way the programmer can select a few lines and choose easily if they want to block or line comment them, and also for a single line, can choose to block comment a part of comment the whole line.
In XIDE I am using key combinations for that (CTRL+B for single line and SHIFT+CTRL+B for block), and the same keys can be used to uncomment single/block comments/
The buttons inside VS are not "ours". They are provider by Ms. Vs has commands
- Edit.CommentSelection
- Edit.UncommentSelection
- Edit.ToggleBlockComment
- Edit.ToggleLineComment
- Edit.InsertComment
We are responding to the first 2 commands at this moment
I see that we are not responding to the ToggleBlockComment and ToggleLineComment at this moment. We can probably add that for a next build.
Edit.InsertComment is triggered by the triple slash. We support that too.
