In a 20 minute search I found the following variations (substitute Ctrl for Cmd on non-Mac): Tools supporting only one comment mode: XCode: Cmd+/ Visual Studio: Ctrl+K+C Ctrl+K+U SQL Server Management Studio: Ctrl+K+C Ctrl+K+U pgAdmin 3: Cmd+K/Cmd+Shift+K Editra: Cmd+1 Netbeans: Cmd+Shift+C Eclipse: Cmd+/ Sublime Text: Cmd+/ Cmd+Shift+/ Toad: Ctrl+b Ctrl+Shift+b MySQL Workbench: Cmd+/ Tools supporting line and block comment modes: PyCharms (line comment): Cmd+/ PyCharms (block comment): Cmd+Alt+/ Notepad++ (line comment): Ctrl+q Notepad++ (block comment): Ctrl+Shift+q I'd say we should go with Cmd+/ and Cmd+Shift+/ as that seems the most common by a small margin - however, I'm still not convinced that we don't need two keys for optimal behaviour of line commenting. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
