Inserting HTML comments from the Insert menu

So I understand that the insert menu has been changed in CS6 and then again in CC (Dreamweaver 12.2).

I am using DW CC. I want to insert HTML comments quickly in a bunch of different locations in my page code. Is there a way to do that?

If this must now be done by hand I would like to know why. The reason for the changes is explained as removing support for deprecated elements, but HTML comments are not deprecated in HTML 5.

There is another option. Select the block of the code and choose the comment option as per your requirement. See image below.

Using keyboard shortcuts,

in command "menu", select "Modify Code", and then choose "Apply HTML comment".

(i don't know if the names are translated correctly, because i'm using the italian version of the program)

I remember back in the good old homesite days you could press shift-ctrl-m and get a comment around the block of code you have selected that would be appropriate to the code (html, css, javascript). I have no idea why this was ever removed.

Adding comments to your DW custom Snippets folder is easy.

And you can associate your Snippets with custom keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks Nancy but I was talking specifically about one command that would wrap the selected text with comment delimiters appropriate to the language of the code you're currently editing.
