How can I comment or uncomment multiple lines in the built-in MobaXterm editor?

Question

I would like to block-comment in MobaTextEditor.

There doesn't seem to be any info on this online in any place so I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find documentation on this or if they know from experience.

I tried adding a keystroke for ecCommentBlock but that doesn't work (the keystroke doesn't do anything).

I'm not sure why but information on this editor seems to be elusive, on their website the entire blurb on it is "MobaXterm includes everything you need to edit text files: vi on command line, nedit for a graphical editor or MobaTextEditor which is a light but powerful editor for developers with textdiff utilities."

Anyone have experience with this issue?

Here is the solution:

• Select the code that you want to comment
• Right-click and then select according to the language format, i.e for python we comment by using #.
• You can choose for each language editor.
• Same for uncommenting
