CF comment?

[Nando]

Hi,

I've been searching for a way to insert a comment using cftextmate, either to comment out a block of text, or just to place a new comment. I see there is a block of code in the bundle that seems to address this need as shown below, but I'm not sure how to use it, or if I can.

{ shellVariables = (

{ name = 'TM_COMMENT_START';

value = '<!--- ';

},

{ name = 'TM_COMMENT_END';

value = ' --->';

},

);

}

Hi Steven,

Thanks for answering. But that doesn't seem to be working for me. ;(

Thats odd because mine works with that hotkey as well..

If you highligh the entire block and hit CMD + / it should wrap the whole highlighted section in a CF comment.. if you are at the end of a line and hit that hotkey it will comment only that line. And if you are on a blank line it will create the comment with your cursor in the middle ready for you to start typing...

Which bundle do you have installed? There are several versions. 

[Steven Ross]

You have to have the file set to ColdFusion. Double check that in the bottom of the screen.

I seem to have 2 CF bundles installed, as well as the Railo bundle. Maybe that's mucking it up? It doesn't work no matter what bundle I choose.

What is the file type set to?

If I understand the use of the term "file type" correctly in this case, ColdFusion, from the selector at the bottom of the interface, to the right of the "Line:  Column:  " indicator.

[Steve Ross]

yes that is correct, and you are using textmate and not that "e" thing right?

[Nando]

Using textmate on a mac.

[Steve Ross]

no idea what is wrong but, you might try a different bundle... create an xml file and try that key and see if it works for a comment.

[Nando]

Thanks for staying with me on this Steve. 

I tried it with an XML file I have open. The file type is XML and [cmd+/] doesn't do anything. Neither do any of the other shortcut key combinations I've tried with /. 

[Steve Ross]

something sounds screwed up... might try reinstalling cmd / is the default key for adding a comment in all bundles.

[Nando]

Will do. Thanks for your help Steve. Much appreciated.
