Start a comment from the keyboard

With a text selection in the script, use:

• macOS: ⌘ Command + ⌥ Option + M.
• Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Alt + M.

With a cursor and no text selected, the same shortcut starts a comment on the current block.

In the comment field, ⏎ Enter adds a line to the note. To submit, choose Comment or use ⌘ Command + ⏎ Enter on macOS, or Ctrl + ⏎ Enter on Windows/Linux.

Choose Cancel, or press Esc in the draft field, to discard the unfinished comment. Empty notes cannot be submitted.
