Good job!

I don't understand what block comment is about.

This is what happens on multiple selected lines

What this meant for languages like JavaScript with block comments?

/*

*/

I don't think that's useful in Commit but I would love to have it in Workbench :)

I'll remove the Ctrl+Shift+A block comment functionality

[sonnyp]

please leave and follow indentation style

Suggested change

	ShortcutsShortcut {
	accelerator: "<Shift><Control>a";
	title: _("Toggle Block Comment");
	}
	ShortcutsShortcut {
	ShortcutsShortcut {
	accelerator: "<Shift><Control>a";
	title: _("Toggle Block Comment");
	}
	ShortcutsShortcut {

If we don't know the comment prefix, let's return

Suggested change

	event_controller.connect("key-pressed", (controller, keyval, keycode, state) => {
	event_controller.connect("key-pressed", (controller, keyval, keycode, state) => {
	if (!comment_prefix) {
	return false; // Event not handled
	}

[sonnyp]

Not this function job :)

Suggested change

	toggleLineComment(buffer, comment_prefix || "#");
	toggleLineComment(buffer, comment_prefix);

[sonnyp]

ditto

Suggested change

	toggleBlockComment(buffer, comment_prefix || "#");
	toggleBlockComment(buffer, comment_prefix);

Hey! I've removed the Ctrl+Shift+A block comment functionality as requested.

The code now only has Ctrl+/ for toggling line comments, which:

• Works on single or multiple selected lines
• Automatically detects if lines are commented and toggles them
• Preserves indentation and skips empty lines
• Cleans up the space after comment prefix when uncommenting

It uses the existing comment_prefix so it should work across different file types.

Let me know if you need any other changes!
