Hey!  
I think this is one of the dumbest things I ever asked here.

Can you do this all at once?

Something like selecting all and pressing `ctrl + /` ?  
Is this even possible?

And yeah, I know the existance of `""" code """`.  
Just wondering.

Literally exactly that.

What keyboard layout are you using? I've heard of folks having issues on some international locales, because the layout sends Java Swing the "wrong" slash character

Yes it don't work for example with **FRENCH azerty layout keybord on windows** 😢.  
Another way to comment/uncomment multiple lines in the designer script editor would be much appreciate !
