Is there a shortcut key to comment multiple lines in matlab editor

Question

Is there a shortcut to comment multiple lines in matlab. If there isn't can I create one?

Solution 1

The comment shortcut is CTRL+R on Windows and CTRL+/ on Unix systems (not sure about OS X). To comment multiple lines you'd have to highlight them using the mouse or SHIFT.

In any case this can be customized via Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts.

Solution 2

In Octave, Ctrl+R to comment and Ctrl+Shift+R to un-comment.

Solution 3

In Mac OS, Command + R to comment code.
Then, Shift+Command+R to un-comment.

What OS are you working on? Some shortcuts differ slightly between systems.

...& Ctrl+T to un-comment.

OP was looking for a way to comment multiple lines... not how to uncomment. I think your shortcut may still be relevant as a comment.

to add a little bit to that, you don't even have to select the full line(s) ... any line partially selected will get commented.

And Ctrl-T to uncomment.

In my case it's still Ctrl+R, even though I'm using Ubuntu (which is a UNIX system).

uncomment on macOS by default is alt+command+/
