Keyboard shortcut to comment line

[AgDude]

A keyboard shortcut to 'comment' selected lines would be a very useful feature. My suggestion is cntrl+/.

Too difficult to implement and keep a track of the comment<->line relation.

Maybe sometime in the distant future.

Definitely not for this or the next major iteration of jsFiddle.

I am not sure you need to keep track of the "relation." What if it worked something like: if the first two non-whitespace characters are '//' remove them, otherwise, add them?

Perhaps it's not that simple.

Thanks for the great work you have done.

Ok, I totally misunderstood what you were requesting.

We're updating the editor to a new version, so adding a keyboard shortcut to comment out some lines of code should not be a problem.

This is working partially at http://alpha.jsfiddle.net

CMD+/ comments out the selection - unfortunately for now it tries to use HTML comments for all panels, including JS and CSS.

This works however my browser also zooms in, kinda irritating, but really cool feature otherwise :)

[oskarkrawczyk]

CMD and / zooms in on your browsers? Odd choice of a shortcut.

[yusafkhaliq]

ohhhh 👍 :p i was copying what you literally commented as in "CMD + / rather than "CMD /" SORRY guys

[yusafkhaliq]

one more thing "CTRL + S" isn't actually updating however opening save as dialog, an this is when the javascript/HTML/CSS boxes are focused

[oskarkrawczyk]

@yusafkhaliq was never updating anything. See bottom left in jsfiddle.net for available shortcuts.

This is great however the shortcut creates an HTML comment, any chance of doing the same of the JS block?
