1. WEE Enhancement Request - Toggle Comments On/Off

I'd like to use Ctrl+m to toggle comments on/off, but I'm sure I could adapt to any other standard keystroke for said functionality.
Can you add this to WEE?
Ctrl+m would simply insert or remove "--" at the beginning of all selected lines.

Yes, I can work that in with the next release, possibly by this weekend.

The only standard is to be different. 
- Geany uses Ctrl+E to toggle comments on or off
- Notepad++ uses Ctrl+K to comment and Ctrl+Shift+K to uncomment
- Visual Studio uses Ctrl+K, Ctrl+C to comment and Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U to uncomment
- Eclipse uses Ctrl+/ to toggle single-line comment and Ctrl+Shift+/ to toggle multi-line comment
Personally, I like Notepad++'s style.

Ctrl+m it is! heheh
I can't believe VS would use Ctrl+C! That's the copy keystroke for every other app in the solar system!
I'd rather just have a toggle key. Throwing a shift in there is just cruel.

It's Ctrl+K then Ctrl+C. Ctrl+K is a macro key for extended options.

If you look at CK's version of EE editor
EE has this comment feature
holding down the control key and pressing the minus key
comments out the ( selected ) high lighted lines.
If the lines are commented out then doing this will remove the comments

It does get tedious. But, what else are you going to do to give hundreds of commands a keyboard shortcut?
This is just a list of the Ctrl+K shortcuts found in the Edit menu. There are also a whole slew of Ctrl+M shortcuts.
| Command | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Edit.ClearBookmarks | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+L |
| Edit.CommentSelection | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+C |
| Edit.CompleteWord | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+W |
| Edit.DeleteHorizontalWhiteSpace | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+\ |
| Edit.FormatDocument | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D |
| Edit.FormatSelection | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+F |
| Edit.GenerateMethod | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+M |
| Edit.InsertSnippit | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+X |
| Edit.ListMembers | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+L |
| Edit.NextBookmark | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+N |
| Edit.ParameterInfo | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+P |
| Edit.PreviousBookmark | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+P |
| Edit.QuickInfo | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+I |
| Edit.SurroundWith | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+S |
| Edit.SwapAnchor | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+A |
| Edit.ToggleBookmark | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+K |
| Edit.ToggleTaskListShortcut | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+H |
| Edit.UncommentSelection | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U |
Luckily I have been able to avoid Visual Studio a lot lately.

I would think that Ctrl+- and Ctrl+= (the plus key) would toggle code folding at the current line (if applicable).

Edita uses <Ctrl -> and Ctrl +> to fold and unfold, and <Ctrl >> and <Ctrl <> to comment and uncomment. (It may really be/I may really mean <Ctrl ,> and Ctrl .> for the latter two, no Shift needed anyway.)
The problem with a toggle is that it has to decide which it is doing somehow, so if some block you have selected starts with a "real" comment (as in -- this is a comment) then it will remove comments which is likely to be the opposite of what was really wanted. Maybe it is just me, but if I have say
-- -- Preload the grinch-blocks -- EnterCriticalSection() Blockify(LoadGrinches()) LeaveCriticalSection()
then I often want to (visually) remove/replace both the code and comments together as one.

FWIW, and just to add to the discussion, Crimson Editor uses Ctrl+M to comment, and Ctrl+Shift+M to uncomment. Doesn't really matter to me which key combination is used.
