I recently switched to M7 and was disappointed to see that comment/uncomment
had been removed from the default keymap and replaced with toggle comment.
So I tried to map comment to ctrl+/ and uncomment to ctrl+shift+/. The
comment works fine. I cannot get uncomment to work. When I add the mapping
for ctrl+shift+/ for uncomment in the "general" context, I remove the
default mapping for "Add block comment" in the "editing java" context.

Any ideas?

Hi Ernest. I'm not sure why that didn't work but try defining Ctrl-/ and
Ctrl-\. . I did that for the Java editing context and it works fine. If
there's not a bugzilla request to bring back these original keydefs you
might want to enter one.

I filed a defect for the keymapping problem.

I'm not sure whether I should post it here or open a bug report, but I
really don't like the new comment
method. Usually I select a block of code and want to comment it out.
Placing */ on the *next* line makes the code to look ugly.

Can anybody comment on why the old method was abandoned?

What old method? I don't really see what you mean, can you post an example?

You can still use "Toggle Comment" to toggle line comments ("//"). The
"comment" and "uncomment" commands are still available, but not bound in
the default config. And there is "add block comment" which will add "/*"
and "*/" around your selection. Nothing changed there.
