Just switched over to Studio from Classic, and the Comment Toggle adds an extra character to comment lines. The breaks the ability to uncomment existing commented content in code that doesn't have that superfluous character. Are there plans to have that removed at some point. If not, is there a reason for that extra character?

who in their right mind thought //~ should be a comment? What language has ever used a tilde coupled with double slashes?

I thought it was a good idea as block commenting often has commented code and so you can easily block / unblock comment and the comments you've added with just // remain intact. An option would be to have an alternate block comment option which just uses // instead of //~ for those who would prefer that?

Not sure if AppGameKit Studio is going to get any actual updates beyond sporadic maintenance fixes though?

I am using AppGameKit Studio v2024.12.07 and the // works for me as a comment indicator.
I normally use the ` symbol though. That also works.
