Can we please have Comment and UnComment buttons in the Code Editor?

There's Cmd [ on Windows, Control] - hyphen and shift hyphen. I think most people use that since we're typing in the editor anyway.

I'm not.

The only time I comment is to comment after checking full script lines.
My hands are off the keyboard and on the phone or on the mouse.
And pasting test scripts.

Anyone know of a way to add an addon to the script exitor.
There was that alternative script editor for rev (I think) but I didn't spend enough time on it to see what it does.
Or maybe the one I'm thinking about is an addon for the IDE and not the script editor.

The glx2 script editor is now an open-source project (https://bitbucket.org/mwieder/glx2/downloads), and while it supports commenting and uncommenting lines or blocks, it does it in the same way as the IDE's script editor: control-dash or shift-control-dash. There's also a menu item to do this, but since you have to select a block to comment anyway it doesn't seem like that much of a stretch. It *can* be all done with the mouse, though...

Select a block to comment
or
triple-click a line to select the whole line
Select Comment (or Uncomment) from the Script menu (Edit menu in the IDE's script editor)

I still want the comment and uncomment buttons on the script ide command bar.

Or even better, a way to add macros as we see fit.
