Hi,

I'm trying to add support for line comments for the SQL scheme. So I added the following line to the sql.scheme file:

<comments line="--" streamStart="/*" streamEnd="*/" blockStart="/* " blockLine=" * " blockEnd=" */" />

(I added that in the
I can comment a single line using Ctrl-Shift-C, and un-comment (Ctrl-Shift-U) does work for a single line (without selection, so just having the cursor in that line) as well.

But when I select several lines, un-comment does not work. Comment (Ctrl-Shift-C) adds the comment characters for each line, but when I then select the commented lines and hit Ctrl-Shift-U (or Edit -> Comments -> Uncomment) nothing happens. Removing block and/or stream comments definition does not change this behaviour.

What am I missing here?
I guess something is wrong with my definition, but I cannot figure out what.

Thanks for a great tool!

Additionally I would like to add a space after the two dashes (basically line="-- ") but I have read in another post that only two characters are supported for line comments. Although commenting a line does work using "-- " un-commenting a line does not work. Is that due to the fact that I defined

I still have problems getting the comment stuff to work with SQL files.

With the current dev build (2.0.9.926), the menu items in "Comments" are always disabled, not matter what I put into the <comments> tag in the scheme file.

I verified that the scheme is re-compiled by deleting sql.cscheme but still I can't comment/uncomment selected lines in SQL files.

What am I missing here?

Hi, I just checked and this works for me with .926:

<language name=&quot;sql&quot; base=&quot;sqlbase&quot; title=&quot;SQL&quot;>
                <comments line=&quot;--&quot; />
		<use-keywords>
			<keyword key=&quot;0&quot; name=&quot;Keywords&quot; class=&quot;sql&quot;/>
		</use-keywords>
	</language>

Do you have something different?

I added the <comments> tag to the <base-language> in the hope that it would then automatically apply for sql and plsql.

When moving it to the <language> section, it works fine, thanks

Another thing: I have a properties.cscheme file, but I can't find the corresponding .scheme file for that, and I would like to change the comment character for that as well.

Edit: I found it :) It's in misc.scheme
