Description Alex Blewitt CLA 2002-12-13 10:00:41 EST 
The keystroke for 'comment' is Ctrl+/ -- other editors use Ctrl+Shift+/ to 
do the uncommenting (or Ctrl+? depending on how the runtime environment treats
it). The ? character is above / on most keyboards so Ctrl+Shift+/ is 
approximately the same as Ctrl+? 

It would be helpful if Eclipse supported this uncomment keystroke, as Ctrl+\
is not as obvious as Ctrl+Shift+/ would be.

With the new keybindings, this should be trivial to add. Can this bug either be closed RESOLVED/LATER if it's not going into 2.1, or put in as a keybinding?

Of course, I've added this myself manually, but people may be more inclined to try Ctrl+Shift+/ to perform the opposite of Ctrl+/ and on some keyboards the \ character is located in a not great position.

Well the problem is that on some key boards (e.g. Swiss German) the '/'
character has to be typed in pressing Shift key + [7,/] key.

See also bug 46203. It's not exactly a duplicate the Comment key binding will
definitely change.
