Re: Enhancement Request

This is one of those things I miss, too - as well as simple drag-drop of selected source.

But!!!

A nice technique is to use the "fill" capability. Put your cursor at the top of wherever you want to put the fill characters, then press Alt-R (rectangle select). Then put cursor at opposite corner of rectangle - or straight down if only one column. Alt-R again - then right-click - l - e --- your cursor will be in the command area - put in the character you want to fill with - or characters, if you block is more than 1 character wide. Press Enter and voila - the block is filled.

Well, in the java editor you can press ctrl-/ to comment or uncomment a
line.

I wonder how hard it would be to write a plug-in or user action that
will do what you want?

Obviously the action would have to be aware of the context ... RPG, Free
form, COBOL, CL, etc.
