For those who like to customize things  and screw them up   some tips   In  Preferences  -  General  -  Keys   type  comment  to get a full list of comment key combination in all editors  Be sure only to edit  not copy commands because you cannot erase created ones     For HTML files  look for those with scope  Editing HTML files   The names are confusing  yes  but the description shows more or less when each and every key is used   At last  I am only able to define block comment in HTML here  It works for both HTML code and Javascript code add at the beginning and the end   lt  -- and -- gt  if is HTML  and add    and    if is Javascript    I remember once there may be a  line comment  key  add comments for every line  but now it is not there anymore  If someone knows how to find it and tell me  I will be very grateful    The category must be Edit  Source does not work   EDIT   I found how to configure XML Toggle comment  The category should be Edit  too  Then you can toggle comment in   XML Editor the one with  Design  and  Source  tabs
