It does - and we're always happy to help new developers... but there
are a few new features in the SQL editor already for the next release,
including what you are looking for:

- Block indent text by selecting two or more lines and pressing the Tab key.
- Block outdent text that has been indented using the current tab
settings using Shift+Tab.
- Comment out SQL by selecting two or more lines and pressing the - key.
- Uncomment SQL by selecting two or more commented lines and pressing
the + key.
- Shift the selected text to upper case by pressing the ^ key.
- Shift the selected text to lower case by pressing the _ key.

Regards, Dave.
