Fix toggle comment functionality for batch files in Sublime Text

I must be having a bad search day, but I can't find any information about how to customize Sublime Text 2 so that toggle comment works correctly for windows batch files (i.e. adding either a REM or :: to the beginning of a line). Any help?

You can create a plugin or a macro to do it. Perhaps a snippet already exists but i have not found it.

I will try to explain the "create macro" alternative.

Create a macro with this code (save it in Packages/User, with name what-you-want.sublime-macro):

[
    {"command": "split_selection_into_lines"},
    {"command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "hardbol", "extend": false}},
    {"command": "insert", "args": {"characters": "REM "}}
]

Now you can use it. Select the lines to comment and execute the macro.

You can also bind the macro to a key. Add in "Key Bindings - User" this key binding:

{ "keys": ["alt+."], "command": "run_macro_file", 
  "args": {"file": "Packages/User/what-you-want.sublime-macro"}, "context":
    [
        { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "source.dosbatch" }
    ]
}

The "selector" key in the "context" ensures that this key is only mapped when in batch files ("source.dosbatch").
