The editor seems to know the limits of the handler (tab for formatting and handler oriented editing), so it should be able to comment out a handler.
It does - in a fairly trivial way;
--just do the current handler
put word 2 of the selectedLine into tCurrentLine
repeat with i = tCurrentLine down to 1
if word 1 of line i of fld "script" is among the items of "on,setProp,getProp,function" then exit repeat
end repeat
Maybe under the Script menu could be an item named Comment Handler. If a right click is added to the editor, then it could be there, too.
I think it could. The problem would be in commenting it back in again.
Of course, you could simply bail on that problem, and require the user to select the entire (commented) handler and select "un-comment" - but that requires the effort we said was undesirable (unacceptable) to comment it in the first place.
If you want the editor to have an "uncomment the entire handler" command, then it's going to need to look into comments, to see whether or not removing the leading comment indicator would leave a line which could then be a start / finish of a handler. Doesn't seem too bad to me - but I know there were concerns about the interpreter (now the editor) looking at comments and guessing about their meaning.
I think the failure modes here (at least, the ones I can think of) are fairly pathological; user comments out entire handler, then within that block partially removes a comment indicator such that the "uncomment" command selects the wrong start (or finish) line.
