With Crtl+/ you can comment a text block. 
No problem with german UI/keyboard.
With Crtl+\ you can uncomment a text block.
This is a problem with a non-english keyboard.
With a german keyboard you have to pres AltGr+ß (&szlig;) to get a \ char, so 
you have to press three keys ... this results in removing the highlighted text 
block and insert a '\'.
Maybe to hotkey should be Crtl+/ and Crtl+Shift+/ ?
