The fix is simple. Only do it when the whole line is selected. I think.

Or make it like tabbing. That'd be a nice fix.

Actually this does not require the whole line to be selected or anything to be selected if you try to add a - before a number it will comment i,t if you just select one word it will comment it, and of course the whole thing will comment it.

I am sick of trying to change my '+' into a '-' and commenting out my entire line!

Roblox's todo list:

-- Make it so you don't need to select any text every time you want to comment out a line with the '-' key

Who has EVER used this feature? That's a better question.
Once. Anyone.
Have you ever intended to do this.
Ever.
Do you even want to be able to do this?

Even if it's supposedly such a good option--this is the only text editor that does it. Why is this not an option I can turn off? I want to be able to type the stupid hyphen.

I've never commented something in that way, I just took the long route. Support.

It seems to me that selecting a line, word, etc... and pressing the - button to comment a line seems more work than just double tapping '-'......

Dumb Feature #SUPPORT

The only reason this could ever be a good feature is for example:

Select some text. Press - and then it puts that code in a block..

IE

Hey Dog
What Up

if commented and - is pressed changes to:

--[[Hey Dog
What Up]]

Sadly this is not the case and the feature is useless and just as more work as going to certain position and double tapping -

I mean, it's not even like it's less work to highlight the ENTIRE line and comment it like that, as opposed to just clicking at the beginning of the line (or at the end and pressing home if you're keyboard savvy) and putting in your hyphens.

For some reason it doesn't happen to me..

Is it because you're highlighting the [insert character here] and then pressing -? I select after, hit backspace and then hit the - key, and it doesn't seem to comment the entire line.

I've actually used this a couple of times.
Never run into this issue because pressing backspace for one character is less than selecting it.

It's pretty cool for commenting multiple lines too.

Easy fix - rebind that action to `ctrl` + `-`
