  +title: "I remember why I stopped using Geany text editor: comment toggling not as expected"
  +url: null
  +body: """
    Since [Geany 2.0 has recently been released](https://www.geany.org/documentation/releasenotes/) I decided to switch back to it from Kate. I used to like Geany but it had some problems I couldn’t quite remember.\n
    \n
    So I quickly remembered the problem. I can’t figure out how to configure it to properly comment and comment blocks of code. Say you have the following in a file of type `shell script`:\n
    \n
    ```\n
    \n
    <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;"># a comment\n
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">echo </span><span style="color:#323232;">$variable\n
    </span>\n
    ```\n
    \n
    I want to be able to select the above lines and use a keybinding to comment them out, so the result would be:\n
    \n
    ```\n
    \n
    <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">## a comment\n
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
    </span>\n
    ```\n
    \n
    `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Comment Lines` works as anticipated.\n
    \n
    But if I decide I want the lines back, how do that with the same keybinding? Using `Comment Lines` again adds a second level of comments, which is what I would expect (but not what I want):\n
    \n
    ```\n
    \n
    <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">### a comment\n
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">##echo $variable\n
    </span>\n
    ```\n
    \n
    `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Toggle Line Commentation` works and the file returns to the original state. But if you reselect the original lines and run it again, you get\n
    \n
    ```\n
    \n
    <span style="color:#323232;">\t a comment\n
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
    </span>\n
    ```\n
    \n
    Which would obviously lead to unpredictable results.\n
    \n
    There doesn’t seem to be a way for Geany to look at the block of text and decide whether it should be *commented* or *uncommented* and act accordingly.\n
    \n
    Kate editor has this functionality in `Selection` &gt; `Toggle Comment` as do other editors I’ve encountered. If there is a mix of commented and uncommented text, it will *never* remove comments. It only removes comments when the entire block has commenting, and then it removes only 1 level of comments. Perfect. Of course if you really want to force the matter, there are the more aggressive `Comment` and `Uncomment`.\n
    \n
    Using the Geany `Toggle Line Commentation` leads to strange results, especially if you are starting with multiple levels of comments. Is there a way to duplicate the standard comment toggle in Geany? I tried to train myself to use `Comment Line(s)` and `Uncomment Lines(s)` instead of a single command but I just made a lot of mistakes where I didn’t realize there were multiple levels of comments or whatever and things became uncommented that shouldn’t have and it created a giant mess.\n
    \n
    I’m not a professional IT person, just someone who enjoys text files in their spare time. I do a lot of commenting and uncommenting trying to find out how things work. I thought it was a pretty normal thing to do. There must be a way to do it right?\n
    \n
    I recall digging around a bunch in the Geany repo/docs and it ended up that some problem I was having was a limitation of the Scintilla lexer and there wasn’t much Geany could do about it. But I am not sure if it was this issue or something else.

    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">echo </span><span style="color:#323232;">$variable\n
    </span>\n
    ```\n
    \n
    I want to be able to select the above lines and use a keybinding to comment them out, so the result would be:\n
    \n
    ```\n
    \n
    <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">## a comment\n
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
    </span>\n
    ```\n
    \n
    `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Comment Lines` works as anticipated.\n
    \n
    But if I decide I want the lines back, how do that with the same keybinding? Using `Comment Lines` again adds a second level of comments, which is what I would expect (but not what I want):\n
    \n
    ```\n
    \n
    <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">### a comment\n
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">##echo $variable\n
    </span>\n
    ```\n
    \n
    `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Toggle Line Commentation` works and the file returns to the original state. But if you reselect the original lines and run it again, you get\n
    \n
    ```\n
    \n
    <span style="color:#323232;">\t a comment\n
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
    </span>\n
    ```\n
    \n
    Which would obviously lead to unpredictable results.\n
    \n
    There doesn’t seem to be a way for Geany to look at the block of text and decide whether it should be *commented* or *uncommented* and act accordingly.\n
    \n
    Kate editor has this functionality in `Selection` &gt; `Toggle Comment` as do other editors I’ve encountered. If there is a mix of commented and uncommented text, it will *never* remove comments. It only removes comments when the entire block has commenting, and then it removes only 1 level of comments. Perfect. Of course if you really want to force the matter, there are the more aggressive `Comment` and `Uncomment`.\n
    \n
    Using the Geany `Toggle Line Commentation` leads to strange results, especially if you are starting with multiple levels of comments. Is there a way to duplicate the standard comment toggle in Geany? I tried to train myself to use `Comment Line(s)` and `Uncomment Lines(s)` instead of a single command but I just made a lot of mistakes where I didn’t realize there were multiple levels of comments or whatever and things became uncommented that shouldn’t have and it created a giant mess.\n
    \n
    I’m not a professional IT person, just someone who enjoys text files in their spare time. I do a lot of commenting and uncommenting trying to find out how things work. I thought it was a pretty normal thing to do. There must be a way to do it right?\n
    \n
    I recall digging around a bunch in the Geany repo/docs and it ended up that some problem I was having was a limitation of the Scintilla lexer and there wasn’t much Geany could do about it. But I am not sure if it was this issue or something else.

  +url: null
  +body: """
    Since [Geany 2.0 has recently been released](https://www.geany.org/documentation/releasenotes/) I decided to switch back to it from Kate. I used to like Geany but it had some problems I couldn’t quite remember.\n
    \n
    So I quickly remembered the problem. I can’t figure out how to configure it to properly comment and comment blocks of code. Say you have the following in a file of type `shell script`:\n
    \n
    ```\n
    \n
    <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;"># a comment\n
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">echo </span><span style="color:#323232;">$variable\n
    </span>\n
    ```\n
    \n
    I want to be able to select the above lines and use a keybinding to comment them out, so the result would be:\n
    \n
    ```\n
    \n
    <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">## a comment\n
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
    </span>\n
    ```\n
    \n
    `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Comment Lines` works as anticipated.\n
    \n
    But if I decide I want the lines back, how do that with the same keybinding? Using `Comment Lines` again adds a second level of comments, which is what I would expect (but not what I want):\n
    \n
    ```\n
    \n

    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">##echo $variable\n
    </span>\n
    ```\n
    \n
    `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Toggle Line Commentation` works and the file returns to the original state. But if you reselect the original lines and run it again, you get\n
    \n
    ```\n
    \n
    <span style="color:#323232;">\t a comment\n
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
