Description Nicolas Barbulesco

Build Identifier: Build id: 20100218-1602

Source: Toggle comment. Which adds or removes // .

When I press ctrl / using the / of my numeric pad of my French Acer keyboard, it
does not work. Whether the num lock light is off or on. It should work.

Thanks,

Nicolas Barbulesco


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a line.
2. Press ctrl / using the / of the numeric pad.

By the way, the embedded "Report bug" feature did not work. Gave a very vague error.
I tried several choices.

> 2. Press ctrl / using the / of the numeric pad.

The Numpad_Divide key is different from the "/" key. By default, Ctrl+Numpad_Divide toggles folding in the Java Editor, but you can remap it to "Toggle Comment" (Keys preference page).

Please try it in a recent build, and if it still doesn't work, file a bug for the component that contributes that feature (it's not from the SDK). Use e.g. the Plug-in Menu Spy to find the plug-in (Alt+Shift+F2, then invoke the command).
