This is a unified solution to any automated source code commenting problems you might have with Notepad++ (and even other editors). Comment Toggler uses only a single button (command) to accomplish all the range of commenting you might need. It automatically determines what type of comment to make or to remove.
Plug-in features:
- Does not insert space in front of the comments (this can lead to confusion between commented-out code and actual manual comments). Exception: REM batch
- Supports all the built-in languages and even user defined languages*
- Can do simple single line comments without selection:
- Preserves indentation in the commented code block:
- Fixes some indentation inconsistencies:
- Supports block comments:
- Supports multiple selections:
- With every type of comment at the same time:
*Note: I use langs.xml file in AppData\Roaming\Notepad++ to get comment markers. If you want that space in front of the comments or want to use a different style of comment mark, edit your langs.xml file. Comment markers of up to 31 characters are supported. A user defined language file must have a defined extension to be recognised. I couldn't find any way to get the actual name of the currently active UDL, so the plug-in just scans file extension.
