Comment/Uncomment Blocks of Code in Formula and Filter Tools

Experts - 

 

During development it would be helpful to be able to do the following in both Formula and Filter tools (and perhaps any other tool that uses custom code):

 

1) Highlight a line or block of code

2) Right click

3) Comment/Uncomment

 

Easier than manually typing or deleting "//" at every line.  

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Great idea.

 

SSMS uses keyboard shortcuts that could be interesting here.

Ctrl + K, C -> Comment

Ctrl + K, U -> Uncomment

 

When doing line comments, not sure that a highlight is needed. The cursor dictates the line to comment. That saves a step. Highlighting is useful when there is a want to comment/uncomment multiple lines.

Also in the import data tool in the SQL code tab as well

Adding to the comment about key bindings, VS Code I believe uses [ctrl] + / to toggle comments for the highlighted/selected line. This would be brilliant to have included!
