When editing a XML document using the MyEclipse XML Editor the toggle comment shortcut keystroke (CTRL+SHIFT+C) does not comment the selected block. When activated from the Source menu it works as expected (Source > Toggle Comment). I’ve verified the key mappings (they are in the default state) as Command=Toggle Comment, Binding=CTRL+SHIFT+C, When=Editing in Structured Text Editors, Category=Edit.

Any help to get this to work would be appreciated.

williamcherry,
I guess you have uncovered a bug in MyEclipse. I was able to reproduce this at my end as well. I’ll file this for my dev team. Thank you for reporting this.

I have a similar issue. The comment keystrokes do not on xml files, and, when editing xml files, the entire source menu is greyed out.

The comment issue is being taken care of by the team but the source menu being grayed out while editing looks like a problem. I was unable to reproduce this at my end . Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

Can you create a new project, add a new xml file to it and test the source menu again. Does it work?

in a brand new project, I just created this file:

<hello>
<this />
<is />
<a>test</a>
</hello>

and the entire source menu is still greyed out.

same when I create XMLExamples project.

Your installation looks good. I just wanted to make sure that you are referring to the Source Menu between the Edit menu and Navigate menu on the main MyEclipse menu because I was unable to reproduce this again.

Can you please switch to a new workspace (File > Switch Workspace > Temp), create a new project, add a new XML file by going to File > New > Other > MyEclipse > XML > XML (Advanced Template) and check if the source menu gets activated when your select some text in your xml file.

Also, is this happening only for XML files or all files?
