I also use TextPad - 4.7.3. I have never thought to comment a block of
code, but this thread prompted me to see if it is possible. As far as I
can see, you can do it like this -

Menu > Configure > Block Select Mode - Ctrl+Q,B

Select a block, one column wide, using mouse or keyboard.

Menu > Edit > Fill Block (brings up dialog box)
    Fill character:   #
    Format:          Left align
    Fill mode:       Replace
    OK

Done.

To uncomment, as above but set Fill character to a space.

It feels a bit fiddly, but I reckon if you use it a few times it will
become quite smooth.
