How do I un-comment out DITA code that I commented out with Insert > Comment?

Hi, all. Sometimes I want to comment out my DITA code with XML comments (Insert > Comment.)  But when it's time to uncomment it out without going to the untagged view, I'm stumped. What's the easy way to do this?

Thx

Steve

‌there is a keyboard shortcut that will remove them if your cursor is inside the comment. I can't remember whether it is specific to comments or whether it's the same one that strips elements. If it doesn't show up on the menu, type "show fullkeymap" on the command line.

    Hi Steve--

    Paul's right, it's just the regular "delete markup" function. Ctrl-Shift-X, or Edit->Uncomment from the menus will do the trick. You can also click the corresponding toolbar button, which looks like a tag marker with a big red X over it.
