[Gambas-user] comments

[Dimitris Anogiatis]

Sorry if I'm butting in the conversation, but what if instead of

/*

don't parse this

*/

you add another paste function on the IDE called "Paste As Comments" and
assign it a rather unique keyboard
shortcut like  Ctrl + Alt + \ and paste whatever is in the clipboard in text
format, as comments (with the ' in front
of them)?

It might be a poor substitute but something like /* */ but IMHO, it beats
doing all the extra work for just the block
comments.

Dimitris
