I am a new user and I can not find a way to comment/uncomment the selected block of code.
I use Pythonista v.3.2 on iPad
Could anybody help me to find this option in UI or suggest a solution to fix this moment because each line commenting is very uncomfortable for me?
Put the following code to your sites packages folder and create a shortcut under the wrench tool.
#Comment/Uncomment selected lines
import editor
text = editor.get_text()
selection = editor.get_line_selection()
selected_text = text[selection[0]:selection[1]]
is_comment = selected_text.strip().startswith('#')
replacement = ''
for line in selected_text.splitlines():
if is_comment:
if line.strip().startswith('#'):
replacement += line[line.find('#') + 1:] + '\n'
else:
replacement += line + '\n'
else:
replacement += '#' + line + '\n'
editor.replace_text(selection[0], selection[1], replacement)
editor.set_selection(selection[0], selection[0] + len(replacement) - 1)
You can also put a line with 3 quotes above and under these lines
'''
these
lines
are
commented
'''
Thank you for the help!
A big THANK to you pulbrich :)
@Ivan_OE I didn’t write this code, only use it. But I am happy if it helped.
