Line commenting shortcut does not work.
Juuso Parkkinen
The line commenting keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + / in Ubuntu, Cmd + / in Mac) does not work. First I encountered the problem with Mac OSX Lion and now it appeared also in my work computer (Ubuntu 10.10). Both run RStudio 0.95.261. And both have Finnish keyboards.
Comments are currently closed for this discussion. You can start a new one.

Juuso,
We actually just released a fix for this, can you download the latest build (0.95.263) and let me know if this fixes it.

Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,
Thanks for the answer! Just installed version 0.95.263 on OS X Lion, but unfortunately the problem seems to persist :(
For my work Ubuntu I can't update RStudio myself, need to ask admins the do that and it may take a while. But I'll let you know whether this works for Ubunut or not.

Juuso,
This might be a result of the Finnish keyboard then as we've seen a few problems with this using other languages. We're looking into it though and could you do the following quick:
1) Go to the following URL: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/keys.html
2) Scroll to the bottom of the page and select the keydown checkbox
3) press Cmd + / (which is the shortcut that is supposed to work for commenting)
4) Tell us the output

Hi Josh,
Thanks for your help!
I checked this in Ubuntu as well, the output (below) is otherwise the same,
but the first key is of course different (CMD in Mac, Ctrl in PC).

Hi,
I think i have a similar problem with french keyboard, were the "/" key is located above the ":" key, so if i use a keyboard with a numpad block, there is a "/" key alone and CTRL+/ works, but if i work on my notebook, with no numpad, the combination CTRL+SHIFT+: does not work. The combinaison of keys on my keyboard is :
keydown
keyCode is 17
charCode is 0
keydown
keyCode is 16
charCode is 0
keydown
keyCode is 59
charCode is 0
the rstudio version i use is 0.96.73
Thanks for your help

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem on Debian 6 (amd64) with the swiss french keyboard layout and rstudio 0.95.265. The "/" key is above the "7", so I have to press CTRL+SHIFT+7. The combinaison of keys on my keyboard is :
keydown
keyCode is 16
charCode is 0
keydown
keyCode is 17
charCode is 0
keydown
keyCode is 191
charCode is 0
Thanks a lot
Best regards

Hello everyone,
This finally have been fixed for the commenting and uncommenting shortcut. You can download the new version here:
http://www.rstudio.org/download/desktop
Due to some problems with Qt, the shortcut is now switched to Ctrl + Shift + C. Let us know if you continue to have problems.
