Thanks for the reply. Yep, I get how the eye icon works, but was hoping there would be an separate feature where you could easily auto-comment a selection, since typing all the individual components required of a comment tag are a bit cumbersome, and are a perfect candidate for a automated hotkey action. Make a selection, hit a key (or button) and it adds the comment tag around it (and, just as easily, takes it away). That would be really useful for me.
Yup, I have Atom, although I haven’t installed it, as I have been (otherwise) really satisfied with the code editor in Pinegrow, and never (personally) needed an external editor.
I guess I’ll make the suggestion in the Feature Request, and hope for the best. I may install Atom. I see that there’s also the option of Brackets, and initially I wasn’t sure which was the better choice. It seems Brackets is mainly focused on Front-End, whereas Atom apparently is more Back-End… although at my level, they are surely interchangeable.
