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 to the menu Edit  gt  Comment these shortcuts should be valid  but in Sublime Text 3  build 3047  they no longer seem to work  Does anybody know the right default keyboard shortcuts for Linux and MacOS  Or is it a bug

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

Make sure the file is a recognized type   I had a yaml file open  without the  yaml file extension  and Sublime Text recognized it as Plain Text   Plain Text has no comment method   Switching the file type to YAML made the comment shortcut work

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     quot keys quot     quot ctrl 7 quot     quot command quot    quot toggle comment quot    quot args quot      quot block quot   false         quot keys quot     quot ctrl shift 7 quot     quot command quot    quot toggle comment quot    quot args quot      quot block quot   true      If the problems are occurring with still a different keyboard layout  change the keybindings accordingly
