Here's the workaround that I have been using, in case others find it useful. I put it into a controlkeydown handler in my LC frontscript. All my script shortcuts use control-shift-<key>. The command doUndoSpace types a space and then deletes it, to make sure LC knows that editing has been done and the script needs re-checking. This may not be necessary in later LC versions (I operate still in 5.5 -- I know, I'm a dinosaur). So control-shift-<underscore> comments out a line or lines, control-shift-= uncomments a line or lines.
on controlkeydown which put the long name of the target into tarName put the shiftkey is down into shK switch which case "-" case "_" -- comment out the line -- until Rev fixes the commandkey shortcut if not shK then pass controlkeydown if "field" is not in tarName then pass controlkeydown if "revNewScriptEditor" is not in tarName then pass controlkeydown put the selectedLine into tLineCh put "-" & "-" into cmntChars if " to " is in tLineCh then put word 2 of tLineCh into stLineNbr put word 4 of tLineCh into endLineNbr repeat with n = stLineNbr to endLineNbr put "put cmntChars & space before word 1 of line" && n && "of" && tarName \ into theDo do theDo end repeat -- put scriptLinesText into line stLineNbr to endLineNbr of the target put endLineNbr into selectHere else put word 2 of tLineCh into lineNbr put the long name of the target into tLongName put sr(line lineNbr of the target) into tLineText do "put cmntChars & space before word 1 of" && tLineCh put lineNbr into selectHere end if doUndoSpace send "tabkey" to tarname -- to fix indenting select after line selectHere of the target break case "=" case "+" -- uncomment the line -- until Rev fixes the commandkey shortcut if not shK then pass controlkeydown if "field" is not in tarName then pass controlkeydown if "revNewScriptEditor" is not in tarName then pass controlkeydown put the selectedLine into tLineCh if " to " is in tLineCh then put word 2 of tLineCh into stLineNbr put word 4 of tLineCh into endLineNbr put line stLineNbr to endLineNbr of target into scriptLinesText repeat with n = 1 to the number of lines of scriptLinesText put sr(line n of scriptLinesText) into tLineText if char 1 to 2 of tLineText = "-" & "-" then delete char 1 to 2 of tLineText put tLineText into line n of scriptLinesText end repeat put scriptLinesText into line stLineNbr to endLineNbr of the target else put sr(value(tLineCh)) into tLineText if char 1 to 2 of tLineText = "-"&"-" then delete char 1 to 2 of tLineText do "put tLineText into" && tLineCh end if end if doUndoSpace send "tabkey" to tarname break default pass controlkeydown end switch end controlkeydown private command doUndoSpace -- this solves the problem that after the above scripted operations -- the script editor remains unaware that the script has changed, -- so an <enterkey> will close but not save the changed script -- thus we have to *type* at least one character lock screen put the selectedText into selTxt type numToChar(32) -- the important step put word 4 of the selectedChunk into charNbr put selTxt into char charNbr of the target unlock screen end doUndoSpace function sr pText return word 1 to -1 of pText end sr On Jul 23, 2015, at 6:30 AM, Alan Stenhouse wrote: > The uncomment keyboard shortcut has never worked for me either, would love if > it did. > > Interestingly, after someone posted about holding open the menu and then > trying it, it does work.
