Here's the workaround that I have been using, in case others find it useful. I
put it into a controlkeydown handler in my LC frontscript. All my script
shortcuts use control-shift-<key>. The command doUndoSpace types a space and
then deletes it, to make sure LC knows that editing has been done and the
script needs re-checking. This may not be necessary in later LC versions (I
operate still in 5.5 -- I know, I'm a dinosaur). So control-shift-<underscore>
comments out a line or lines, control-shift-= uncomments a line or lines.
on controlkeydown which
put the long name of the target into tarName
put the shiftkey is down into shK
switch which
case "-"
case "_" -- comment out the line -- until Rev fixes the commandkey
shortcut
if not shK then pass controlkeydown
if "field" is not in tarName then pass controlkeydown
if "revNewScriptEditor" is not in tarName then pass controlkeydown
put the selectedLine into tLineCh
put "-" & "-" into cmntChars
if " to " is in tLineCh then
put word 2 of tLineCh into stLineNbr
put word 4 of tLineCh into endLineNbr
repeat with n = stLineNbr to endLineNbr
put "put cmntChars & space before word 1 of line" && n && "of"
&& tarName \
into theDo
do theDo
end repeat
-- put scriptLinesText into line stLineNbr to endLineNbr of the
target
put endLineNbr into selectHere
else
put word 2 of tLineCh into lineNbr
put the long name of the target into tLongName
put sr(line lineNbr of the target) into tLineText
do "put cmntChars & space before word 1 of" && tLineCh
put lineNbr into selectHere
end if
doUndoSpace
send "tabkey" to tarname -- to fix indenting
select after line selectHere of the target
break
case "="
case "+" -- uncomment the line -- until Rev fixes the commandkey shortcut
if not shK then pass controlkeydown
if "field" is not in tarName then pass controlkeydown
if "revNewScriptEditor" is not in tarName then pass controlkeydown
put the selectedLine into tLineCh
if " to " is in tLineCh then
put word 2 of tLineCh into stLineNbr
put word 4 of tLineCh into endLineNbr
put line stLineNbr to endLineNbr of target into scriptLinesText
repeat with n = 1 to the number of lines of scriptLinesText
put sr(line n of scriptLinesText) into tLineText
if char 1 to 2 of tLineText = "-" & "-"
then delete char 1 to 2 of tLineText
put tLineText into line n of scriptLinesText
end repeat
put scriptLinesText into line stLineNbr to endLineNbr of the target
else
put sr(value(tLineCh)) into tLineText
if char 1 to 2 of tLineText = "-"&"-" then
delete char 1 to 2 of tLineText
do "put tLineText into" && tLineCh
end if
end if
doUndoSpace
send "tabkey" to tarname
break
default
pass controlkeydown
end switch
end controlkeydown
private command doUndoSpace
-- this solves the problem that after the above scripted operations
-- the script editor remains unaware that the script has changed,
-- so an <enterkey> will close but not save the changed script
-- thus we have to *type* at least one character
lock screen
put the selectedText into selTxt
type numToChar(32) -- the important step
put word 4 of the selectedChunk into charNbr
put selTxt into char charNbr of the target
unlock screen
end doUndoSpace
function sr pText
return word 1 to -1 of pText
end sr
