[Bug]: Common shortcut for comment/uncomment is missing

[bencodesall]

Describe the bug

Not sure if this is an apple silicon specific issue but ⌘+/ does not work to comment/uncomment the selected code. I could have sworn that this worked previously. ¯l_(ツ)_l¯

Otherwise I love this thing. Great job

Shortcuts cannot be bugs by definition. This is a specific feature of the editor, it may or may not have this shortcut.

In a strictly software engineering sense, you are correct. However from a UX/CX context, of the primary users being developers, this could be considered a usability flaw (or a "type" of usability "bug" even if not pedantically a technical "bug" per se.)

So what you are saying is that NOT having the ability to comment/uncomment is a specific, intentional feature of massCode "editor"? I apologize for pressing the issue, but every "editor" I've ever used has a "shortcut" (feature, ... thing) that allows quick keystroke commenting/uncommenting of code.

Add it to your backlog, or do not. It's a nice-to-have and not ultimately critical. Still, I don't really understand why you say ...

... it may or may not have this shortcut

... can you elaborate on that bit?

First of all, this is not a bug, right?

Second, the experience of using any applications is a personal experience, I think it is wrong to project it on everyone. For example, the last editor I used did not have this shortcode. Also, under the hood, massCode uses codemirror 5 and it does not have this functionality by default.

Third, I'm not arguing that it's not an interesting feature, so let it be a suggestion.

In general, this is more of a discussion, and there is a separate page for discussions.

That's fair.
