Commenting code in Notepad

Question

This link was exactly what I was searching for    Let me summarize the answers for others  benefit  for python and notepad     1  Ctrl K on multiple lines  i e  selected region  allows you to block comment    Also note that pressing the combination multiple times allows you to add multiple    s  sometimes I use that while testing to differentiate from other comments   2  Ctrl Shift K  on the commented region  allows you to perform block uncomment  3  Ctrl Shift K on an uncommented selected region does not comment it  4   Ctrl Q allows you to block comment uncomment in a toggled mode  meaning  you cannot add multiple    s like in 1     Hope this helps another wandering soul   Question - how would you develop a hack of keyboard combinations to comment uncomment if there were no shortcuts  Just curious  I ve no clue hence asking

Without having selected a language type for your file there are no styles defined   Comment and block comment are language specific style preferences   If that s a PITA       To select for multi-line editing you can use   shift   alt   down arrow

To add a comment under any code on NOTEPAD   first we have to save and define the programming or scripting file type  Like  save the file as xml  html etc  Once the file is saved in proper format you will be able to add a comment directly using the shortcut ctrl Q
