Comment/Uncomment out portions in the script

Hi all,

does any of you know how to comment out the portions of the script in JMP?

Thank you!

Select the portion you want to change and then right-click in the script window. Select Advanced > Comment Block or Uncomment Block.

And if you want to do it manually, JMP uses C++ style comments. Either surround the code to be commented out with /* */, or start each line with //.

// Uncommented:
pi = 3.14159;
e  = 2.71828;

// Commented out using /* */
/*
pi = 3.14159;
e  = 2.71828;
*/

// Commented out a different way
// pi = 3.14159;
// e  = 2.71828;

Is there a keyboard shortcut to comment/uncomment a block of code?

Review of the Menu Card for the Script Editor

Help==>Books==>Menu Card

There is not a keyboard short cut for commenting blocks of text

If anybody thinks there should be better keyboard shortcuts for commenting, you should vote for this suggestion:
