I usually edit Far Manager's F2 menu editing FarMenu.ini as pure text file. Pressing F2 brings the menu open, then pressing Alt+F4 opens the file in the editor.

Question

Is it possible to place comments in this FarMenu.ini file, if yes then what is the syntax? (I've tried starting lines with # or // or -- or @, neither work)

  • # - you will lose the lines if you edit the file using the interface
  • @rem directly in the script

I've tested this and it works fine (as far as I can see):

# comment t: test @echo 1 @rem some comment @echo 2 # another comment e: explorer explorer. # final

If you edit it using the interface you will lose the comments. Executing test I see the following output:

1 2

The same as in bat-files:

: test echo 1 :: comment echo 2 REM comment echo 3 Output: echo 1 1 echo 2 2 echo 3 3
