Keyboard shortcut to comment lines in Sublime Text 3

Question

In Sublime Text 2 it was possible to comment out a line or a block of lines with Ctrl+/ and Ctrl+Shift+/. According t

Answer 1

This worked just fine for me on Win 10:

    [{ "keys": ["ctrl+7"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+7"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } }
]

note that "[ ]" are nesassary and it will give you an error if you miss them.

Answer 2

On OSX Yosemite, I fixed this by going System Preferences, Keyboard, then Shortcuts. Under App Shortcuts, disable Show Help menu which was bound to CMD+SHIFT+7.

My keyboard layout is Norwegian, with English as the OS language.

Answer 3

In my notebook keyboard, a ABNT 2, I can use the CTRL+; shortcut as the default comment action for blocks and lines. The same shortcut to uncomment.

Answer 4

On my mac the shortcut is ⌘cmd + / which makes multi line comment but as single lines:

// if ($username && $password) {
//  echo "You are good to go";
// } else {
//  echo "Fields cannot be blank";
// }

OR

⌥ alt + ⌘cmd + / and it's result is overall comment, from beggining of the selection to the end.

/*
if ($username && $password) {
    echo "You are good to go";
} else {
    echo "Fields cannot be blank";
}
*/

Answer 5

Use Ctrl + / for single line comment and
Ctrl + Alt + / for block or multiline comments.

Answer 6

It seems a bug: http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11157&start=0

As a workaround, go to Preferences->Key Bindings - User and add these keybindings (if you're using Linux):

{ "keys": ["ctrl+7"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+7"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } }

Update: This also works on Windows 8 (see @Sosi's comment)
