Keyboard shortcut to comment several lines of code in IntelliJ


I already made an investigation about the topic, and actually, you can find the answer in the official documentation of JetBrains or just going to File -> Settings -> Keymap. However, I can't implement that solution, which is CTRL + SHIFT + /.

I don't have a "/" key in my keyboard, but the combination of the number 7 and SHITF makes the "/" key, so what I do is to press CTRL + SHIFT + 7 trying to comment an entire block of code but nothing happens. Doesn't matter if I select English or Spanish in the Prefered Languages panel of Windows, I cannot comment several lines at the same time using that combination.

I know probably I am doing something very very dumb, but honestly, I have been stuck like 20 minutes trying to figure out what I am doing wrong and I am starting to lose any hope.

Sorry for making a dumb question dear folks, but I would really appreciate if you can help me with this.


Solution

  • Just add any keyboard shortcut that works on your system in Settings | Keymap:
