Check in [ { ( " / * enclose selection in ide options (editor tab). Having this done you can press:

/ to enclose line, block of text with //
if a text is part of one line the selected text is enclosed with /* */
* to enclose block of text with /* */
ctrl + / to enclose block of text in java doc style

each operation is invertable.

Pffftt.

Nice, but I wish this had been documented somewhere before I spent the time on those macros! Oh well, it was good practice learning how to use the macro system.

Anyway, one thing I like about the second macro I wrote above is that you don't have to select the entire block to uncomment it. So what I'll do is take out the first macro from the code in the first post, and leave this one, just in case anyone else finds it useful.

As a matter of fact, I'll clean it up to remove the tilde portion so it will work with the standard block comments. And I'll change it so that it now only removes a block comment (and does so if the cursor is anywhere within the comment block), instead of toggling the comment, since inserting the comment block is built in.
