Block-comment lines keyboard shortcut doesn't work on non-English MacOS keyboards
Describe the bug
On ~~French AZERTY~~ non-English MacOS keyboards, the block-comment lines keyboard shortcut ~~ctrl+/~~ (cmd+/ on MacOS) doesn't work.
(it seems it is not an isolated case, but related to all French keyboards: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65459646/comment-jupyter-azerty-mac)
Desktop
- OS: MacOS 11.3
- Browser: Chrome
- Jupyter version: 6.3.0
- Chrome version: 90
- Python version: 3.8
I tried on Google Colab and the shortcut works well on my AZERTY keyboard.I used Firefox as browser.Have you already checked if the problem persist if you use a different browser or with Colab?
Any news on this? This is a pretty big issue for French keyboard users.
Just to add some details here, I'm facing the same problem but only with the macOS layout of the keyboard. On the windows machine I'm using at work ctrl + / work as expected.
looking at this question on SO it seems that the problem is related to every non EN mac layout.
the solution is if you want to comment out something first you need to activate caps lock after that 'ctrl + /' works
In my case, I had to use the French - digital (Français - Numérique) keyboard and then the shortcut control++ works fine. I tried everything with the classic French keyboard but nothing works.
