Can anyone tell me the "commenting out" shortcut?

I see that a lot of teachers use a shortcut method for commenting out multiple lines. They select a lot of lines, press a button or do something and everything selected get commented out. I would love to know this shortcut.

Hello Elian! In the Treehouse Workspace you can comment out multiple lines in two ways.

  1. For line comments on a Mac you use cmd /, I believe it's ctrl / on Windows.
  2. For block comment it's alt cmd /, probably alt ctrl / on Windows.

Awesome, James. Thanks! Exactly what i was looking for.

I had a feeling it would be the same in Sublime Text and it is. This is gonna save me a lot of time. :)

Second is shift ctrl / if any other windows users want to know about this. :)
