At least in Android Studio 2 2 3 with default key mapping  to comment or uncomment a select text  same hotkeys are used as Toggle  Using the hotkeys changes the state from comment to uncomment  and next time Uncomment to comment on next and vice versa   1  Comment   uncomment a block of code   Comment sample     --- Code  block ----     Hotkey  Ctrl   Shift         Using the same key combinations again will  toggle  commenting or uncommenting the selection   2  Comment   uncomment a line of code  Comment sample     -- Code ---  Hotkey  Ctrl        Using the same key combinations again will  toggle  commenting or uncommenting the selection   Note  Key mapping can be changed to different schemes like eclipse  visual studio    or to the custom hotkeys in File -  Settings -  Keymap

I had the same problem  usually  you have found the shortcut but it doesn t work because you have not a NumPad  Actually  the only one issue I found is to set my own shortcut with the one I suppose should works    First step  find the IDE shortcuts   cmd   shift   A enter shortcuts   Second step   Find Comments Shortcut with the finder   Third step   Set your custom shortcut  I suggest cmd   shift     or cmd         Now enjoy  it works on a macBook without NumPad  edit   cmd   shift     has conflicts  Edit   this both works without conflicts Issue on MacBook
