In "Preferences --> Editor side tab --> Features tab", the "Comment toggle marker" is blank / empty. Maybe at some point I removed the tilde there because I didn't like how it looked... (? can't recall. Ah, I think at one point I put a single space in there). I wouldn't know how to change the toggle comment setting for a particular filetype --- I only know the prefs setting I just described above. Ok. Thanks, I put the "~" back into that "comment toggle marker" field. > The reason this is done is because the edited file is saved in the > users config, and overrides the system file.

Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. -- John _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users
