How to undo comment for one block after using Ctr+/ ?

Hi all,

Normally, I used Ctr+/ to let a block to be in comment part. For example:

My original code:

	proc copy in=work out=myfolder;
		select &outf._;
	run;

	quit;

After using Ctr+/, the code is

/*	proc copy in=work out=myfolder;*/
/*		select &outf._;*/
/*	run;*/
/**/
/*	quit;*/

I am wondering if there is any quick way to uncomment this block rather than delete the / and * manually?

Warm regards and thanks.

Hi @Phil_NZ,

In the Enhanced Editor Keys window (which you open in the menu of the Display Manager interface via Tools → Options → Enhanced Editor Keys and in SAS Enterprise Guide via Program → Enhanced Editor Keys...) under category "Selection Operations" you find the command "UnComment the selection with line comments" and the associated keyboard shortcut (maybe Ctrl+Shift+/ or something else; you can also assign your own shortcut if you want).
