Text Editing - Insert comments (#) in Ubuntu using gedit or another text editor

Question

I program in a special language called macro language.

To comment, I need to add # at the beginning of the line.

I want to save time by commenting out a few lines of code at the same time with gedit or another program (gedit is nice in terms of colors, which makes the code more readable).

How can i do this?

Thanks in advance.

There is a plugin for gedit that should help in your needs. You can get this from github:
