Comment line or various lines using the shortcut in MacOS (CMD+/)

[SergioSuarezDev]

I'm trying to use the shortcut to comment line based in docs:

But is not working :(

I think it's because on mac the backslash is at number 7 key in the spanish keyboard, and it is also necessary to press shift, but in my case it does not work, someone who can shed more light on this matter?

I have no idea what the expected key bindings here should be. On my keyboard, it is the key beside the right Shift key which seems to be the "-" key, so maybe you can try that instead?

Unfortunately it does not work, perhaps in mac would be better to add the command similar to VSCode which would be CMD+ SHIFT+7

In some places they talk about this issue. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34316156/how-to-comment-multiple-lines-in-visual-studio-code

Sadly, cmd+/ is not a valid shortcut for a German (Mac) keyboard. FWIW: I changed it to { "key": "cmd+shift+7", "command": "editor.action.commentLine", "when": "editorTextFocus" } to match Atom.

Same in IntelliJ IDEA editor:

Perhaps the best option would be to add a way to configure keyboard shortcuts, like other apps. So some European users would not have problems with them

With the changes introduced, you would be able to customize the shortcuts in the query editor by specifying the mapping in the editor.shortcuts settings option. e.g. { "Ctrl-7": "toggleComment" }
