ysspatil ysspatil In windows, you can press Alt+e+o (after selecting the multiple lines) Log in or register to post comments July 29, 2014 at 11:03 am - Permalink
In reply to by ysspatil azeigle azeigle Great tip, thanks! Note that "Alt+e, o" simply opens the edit menu and selects "Commentize". So it's not necessary to memorize the shortcut as long as you know where to find it. Log in or register to post comments May 4, 2020 at 12:00 pm - Permalink
johnweeks johnweeks In Igor 8, cmd-/ or ctrl-/ will commentize selected lines, and cmd-\ or ctrl-\ decommentizes. That would be cmd on Mac, ctrl on Windows. Log in or register to post comments May 4, 2020 at 01:10 pm - Permalink
thomas_braun thomas_braun The closest to multiline comments is surrounding the code with #if 0 ignored coded #endif but I would stay away from it as it makes messy code. Log in or register to post comments May 5, 2020 at 05:06 am - Permalink
