    Description

      It would be nice if one could just select some comment block (or maybe open the Refactor menu with the cursor in it), and have the ability to convert  between line and block comments as a refactoring action available.

       

      There is a slight ambiguity how greedy such a refactoring should be for line comments, but I'd suggest to apply it to consecutive commented lines, even if there are empty newlines in between. As in

       

      // some other commented out line
      
      
      // code placeholder
      
      // multiple lines of
      // comments<CURSOR> can
      // be found here
      

      would after selecting the refactor action

      /*some other commented out line
      
      code placeholder
      
      multiple lines of
      comments can
      be found here */
      

      Alternatively, one could require that all of the lines have to be selected before applying the.refactoring
