Commenting via shortcut keys in VFP

The comment/uncomment items on the Format menu do not have shortcut keys but they have access keys assigned. Pressing ALT+om and ALT+on on a keyboard will comment/uncomment selected text respectively.

Rick shows in his blog Commenting via ShortCut Key in Visual FoxPro how to implement MS VS shortcut keys CTRL+K+C and CTRL+K+U to comment/uncomment code using KEYBOARD command. The same can be done with Editor functions from Foxtools.fll. It gives more control over the process, like checking if anything is selected, etc. See George Tasker's Extended Foxtools Help Download #9333 on UT
