Search and comment all matches

Question

Is there a way to comment all the matches when doing CTRL+F or CTRL+R?

I have tried a quick fix, but this is not working properly when the line to be printed is in different lines:

# print("Hello"
        "World")

I am using Python 3.7 and PyCharm 2021.3.1

I guess you want select the print function and comment the all of the print function with "Hello World" part. You can do step by step;

1. Click CTRL+F and after then click regex button
2. Write what you want with regex( In this question you should write ^print\(.*(\n*.*)*\)$). When you do that, you already select the whole line
3. If you want to make comment all of the print function you can click Select All Occurences.
4. Then you can make comment with your multiline comment shortcute
