Sounds good to me. I'm interested to see how the new toggle comment behaviour ('//~' and '#~') works out in practice.
Me too ;-). I'm going to start implementing it.
Done in SVN r1668 (also fixed some selection issues).
Forgot to mention: Keyboard shortcut for comment toggling was changed to: Ctrl-E. Shortcuts for comment/uncomment are now undefined.
Interesting behaviour you gave it regarding lines that already had a comment character on them. (That is, it doesn't touch them.)
When I comment out a block, I'd like to be able to still glance up at it while working. Sometimes I'm trying out a different algorithm, and I still like to look up at the commented-out block for inspiration. So, for me, the commented-out block still needs to be readable.
If I had the following block:
[example code]
(Note, for increased readability, the commenting would provide:
- extra space after "#~",
- blank lines get commented too, and
- comment lines without special marker get commented with special
marker.)
All done in SVN r1678, should be much better now. Anyway, toggle comment will still indent the inserted comment toggle mark (e.g. "#~ "). To avoid this, set "comment_use_indent" to false in filetypes.python.
By the way, since Ctrl-B is no longer mapped to a commenting command, it seems like a natural fit for "Goto matching brace" (which is currently not mapped to a key combination).
Nice idea, will be done tomorrow.
