Keyboard shortcut to comment lines in Sublime Text 2

In Sublime Text 2, how do I enclose a selection in a comment?
Is there a keyboard shortcut for this action?

This did the trick for me coming from Brackets and being used to ctrl+/ on the numpad. 

[
    { "keys": ["ctrl+keypad_divide"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
    { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+keypad_divide"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } }
]

On my laptop with spanish keyboard, the problem seems to be the "/" on the key binding, I changed it to ctrl+shift+c and now it works.

{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+c"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } },

For German keyboards use ctrl+shift+# to toggle a block comment and ctrl+# to toggle a line comment.

The shortcut in Preferences->Key Bindings - Default is set to Ctrl+Shift+/ and Ctrl+/, but to actually use the functions, press the keys stated above.

First Open The Sublime Text 2.

And top menu bar on select the Preferences.

And than select the Key Bindings -User.

And than put this code,

[
    { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+c"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },

    { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+c"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } }
]

I use Ctrl+Shift+C, You also different short cut key use.

In keyboard (Spanish), SO: Win7.

Go into Preferences->Key Bindings - Default, replace..."ctrl+/"]... by "ctrl+7"...

And don't use the numpad, it doesn't work. Just use the numbers above the letters

Max OS: If you want to toggle comment multiple individual lines versus block comment an entire selection, you can do multi line edit, shift+cmd+L, then cmd+/ in that sequence.

In a Brazilian Portuguese ABNT2 keyboard I have a similar issue to the one reported by JoshDM. In the file sublime-keymap I have:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+/"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+/"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } },

But I have to use ctrl+; and ctrl+shift+;. On my keyboard, ; is on the left of /.

It seems like a bug.

Seems like some kind of keyboard mapping bug. I'm Portuguese, so I'm using a PT/PT keyboard. Sublime Text 3 apparently is handling / as ~.

By default on Linux/Windows for an English keyboard the shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+/ to toggle a block comment, and Ctrl+/ to toggle a line comment.

If you go into Preferences->Key Bindings - Default, you can find all the shortcuts, below are the lines for commenting.

{ "keys": ["ctrl+/"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+/"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } },

In the "Preferences->Key Bindings - User"

[
   { "keys": ["ctrl+7"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
   { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+7"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } }
]

Just paste it, these are will work great !
