The text editor used by Guil lets you use control / to comment out code. I have not found one I can use that does the same thing. What text editor is used by Treehouse and how can I get the same thing online.

Maybe Guil Hernandez will comment directly.

4,263 PointsI don't use it - I use a live reload server in my Gulpfile - so I can't speak for its quality, but this plugin was the first thing that Google showed.

Another popular one is Brackets, but I'm uncertain of the exact feature set.
