Doesn't work comment hotkey

[evilangel-ru]

Couldn't understand how to use hotkey for comment command. Alt-/ from docs doesn't work. MacOs, iTerm2. I have tried to bind it to Ctrl-/ or Alt-m, but without any effect.

I have tried it with command:comment. Still to no avail. Went to the main comment.lua#106 and tried my luck there too. And still Ctrl-/ is not working.

I think Ctrl-/ is not bindable. Otherwise even the authors of comment would have had that as first choice considering in every other editor it is the default.

Let's upvote this issue to make that possible.

It turns out that Ctrl-/ is not bindable, but on most terminals pressing it sends the same event code as pressing CtrlUnderscore, so you can just bind lua:comment.comment to CtrlUnderscore for the desired effect.

Regarding Alt bindings, on macOS, usually terminals do not send alt events by default. Here are instructions for enabling this:

• iTerm2: choose "option acts as +Esc" under Preferences->Profiles->Keys.
• Terminal.app: enable Use Option key as Meta key under Preferences->Profiles->Keyboard.

{
    "CtrlUnderscore": "lua:comment.comment" 
}

gives me the desired "Ctrl-/" commenting. It might be necessary to restart Micro. Thanks!
