Just an important note  If you have HTML comment and your uncomment doesn t work  Maybe it s a PHP file   so don t mark all the comment but just put your cursor at the end or at the beginning of the comment  before   and try again  Ctrl

With a non-US keyboard layout the default shortcut Ctrl    Win Linux  does not work   I managed to change it into Ctrl 1 as per Robert s comment by writing            keys     ctrl 1         command    toggle comment        args      block   false             keys     ctrl shift 1         command    toggle comment        args      block   true         to Preferences - gt  Key Bindings  on the right half  the user keymap    Note that there should be only one set of brackets        at the right side  if you had there something already  copy paste this between the brackets and keep only the outermost brackets
