Answer 2

This is a keyboard internationalisation issue.

On a standard US QWERTY keyboard, as used in Australia where Sublime Text is made, / is readily available:

This is not the case with many other keyboards. Take for example the German QWERTZ keyboard. One needs to hit SHIFT+7 to get a /. This is why commenting does not work properly on these keyboards.

Changing the user keybindings to those listed below, will work for the German QWERTZ keyboard.

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

If the problems are occurring with still a different keyboard layout, change the keybindings accordingly.

Answer 3

U can fix this bug by:

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

it allow to comment with CTRL+/ and CTRL+SHIFT+/ and u can use / on keypad =)

Answer 4

Had the same issue. Check with sublime.log_input(True) command on the console to see what keys are being detected with the CTRL+/ and SHIFT+CTRL+/ shorcuts. Then replace the shortcuts with those. (Changing / for keypad_divide worked for me)

Answer 5

On windows, use Ctrl + Shift + ?. You will be able to comment the HTML.

Answer 6

I prefer pressing Ctrl + / to (un)comment the current line. Plus, I want the cursor to move down one line, thus this way I can (un)comment several lines easily. If you install the "Chain of Command" plugin, you can combine these two operations:

[
    { 
        "keys": ["ctrl+keypad_divide"], 
        "command": "chain",
        "args": {
            "commands": [
                ["toggle_comment", { "block": false }],
                ["move", {"by": "lines", "forward": true}]
            ]
        }
    }
]
