[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52695] Uncomment should work with any kind of comment

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #52695 (project octave):

The original poster wrote:

"
(It would also be nice if there were a separate test-comment-command that
could create %! type comments, but maybe that's better for a different feature
request)
"

I see that 


_C_omment       Ctrl+R
_U_ncomment     Ctrl+Shift+R


[BTW, note that in the submenu in which the above appears, there are three
entries with the _U_ shortcut key selection.]

Another thing that could be done to address the above would be a new code
sequence


_C_omment       Ctrl+R
Comment Choose  Ctrl+Alt+R
_U_ncomment     Ctrl+Shift+R


in which the Ctrl+Alt+R will pop up a dialog box with a radio button list (or
some similar construct) having


Choose Comment Char:
  [x] %
  [ ] %%
  [ ] %!
  [ ] #
  [ ] ##
                 CANCEL


and once a person clicks the choice, it's that comment character that is
selected.

So, one could do Ctrl+R to get their favorite comment character (% or whatever
preference set up) and then to get %! it would be a slightly slower process of
Ctrl+Alt+R and a few down-arrow keystrokes and ENTER.  A radio button,
drop-down list, etc. should all have close to the same sort of action as far
as keyboard input goes.
