Commenting code in Notepad++

This link was exactly what I was searching for .

Let me summarize the answers for others' benefit (for python and notepad++)

1) Ctrl+K on multiple lines (i.e. selected region) allows you to block comment.

Also note that pressing the combination multiple times allows you to add multiple "#"s (sometimes I use that while testing to differentiate from other comments)

2) Ctrl+Shift+K (on the commented region) allows you to perform block uncomment

3) Ctrl+Shift+K on an uncommented selected region does not comment it

4) Ctrl+Q allows you to block comment/uncomment in a toggled mode (meaning, you cannot add multiple '#'s like in 1) )

Hope this helps another wandering soul.

Question - how would you develop a hack of keyboard combinations to comment/uncomment if there were no shortcuts? Just curious. I've no clue hence asking.

Try the following shortcut:

Ctrl+K.

CTRL+Q Block comment/uncomment.
