Commented code

[Juliette Tworsey]

Hi all!

I have a question that is probably going to seem quite silly and newbie(ish), but I am stumped:

When Zac un-comments a large block of code, how is he doing that? When I try to do that on my Mac (with the delete/backspace key) everything just gets deleted. I couldn’t find anything on Google.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can tell me how to do this! Knowing how to do this simple task is going to be a huge time saver.

It got me for a while too!

I’m using Windows, on which you press ctrl+/. I would imagine it’ll be something + / on Mac…

Hope that helps!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for getting back to me. I have tried both key combos and unfortunately neither works.

Maybe Zac knows.

Cheers:-)

Select the code you want and then

“Command + /”

🙂

Thanks Zac. That works (in Atom). I was trying to do this in the console and it doesn’t work there. I’ll just grab the code from my editor now.

Cheers:-)

Yes, this is only going to work in a code editor or on jsbin. To my knowledge it won’t work in the console.
