Description

it'd be cool to just get comments out of the way while I'm working. I can read code, but I put in extra comments in for people that might not be as fluent as me or lecturers or people I'm having review my source but they distract me when I'm working and make it more difficult to see the structure so I'd like to be able to make them go away temporarily.

Another idea would be pull the comments out of the sourcefile and put them on comment tiles on the right hand side of the screen like for example google docs, but that solution has a ton of issues.

This might be a gtksourceview bug though.
