True the document is only relative to the pref for the marker, not mentioned on the document on the action, feel free to provide a PR to add such linking from the action because so far nobody has needed it. The fact that for a lot of languages the delimited comments (eg `/*` and `*/` for C/C++ and many others) __do not nest__ and as such they are a problem if the selected lines happens to include a comment. For example if the three lines below are selected and commented by the delimiting (multiple line as you call it) comments: ```C a = 1; b = foo(a /*parameter 1*/, 55, "whatever"); a = a + b; ``` the selected three lines are not removed as expected, instead the code seen by the compiler is: ```C ,55, "whatever"); a = a + b; */ ``` which of course does not compile. Whereas single line comments work fine using `Comment` and `Uncomment`. But toggle has problems too, if you have no specifier of a marker it just toggles the three selected lines: ```C pay(user_salary, monthly, to_user); // pay(user_salary, daily, to_me); pay(rent); ``` to ```C // pay(user_salary, monthly, to_user); pay(user_salary, daily, to_me); // pay(rent); ``` which is probably not what you intended but pays me lots ;-). If a marker is specified (eg default ~), toggle will not toggle comments that do not have the marker, so the result is: ```C //~ pay(user_salary, monthly, to_user); // pay(user_salary, daily, to_me); //~ pay(rent); ``` and toggles back to ```C pay(user_salary, monthly, to_user); // pay(user_salary, daily, to_me); pay(rent); ``` -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/discussions/3997#discussioncomment-11093498 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
