MacBook Pro Finnish keyboard, comment shortcut <cmd>/ (amongst other shortcuts) w/chrome doesn't work.

I'm having problems with this comment shortcut <cmd>/, as well as a number of other shortcuts described in the video in the workspace. I'm using a MacbookPro with Finnish keyboard and the Chrome browser.

I've enabled the keyboard viewer to make sure that I am pressing the right combination of keys but still it doesn't work.

Could anyone give me a suggestion on what I may be doing wrong?

Shortcuts don't work the same on Finnish keyboard.

On windows ctrl + ' (the key in between ä and enter) works for commenting. For indenting I use tab key.

Hope this helps.

Guil Hernandez Even though I disabled the option for the help menu the shortcut cmd+shift+7(/) does not work the workspace only takes cmd+/ but I don't have that key on my keyboard. I only know that key from a full keyboard but macbooks don't have that.

I would love the option to change shortcuts in the workspace or at least cmd+shift+/ to be recognized. That would make commenting a lot easier, which is an absolutely important thing students should learn to do!

mersadajan Same here. I have an Italian keyboard, I disabled the Help Menu shortcut on the Keyboard settings but it still doesn't work. Only when I change the keyboard in to English input Sources the <!----> shortcut works.

The "/" key, I find it on the "-" Key. So in my Italian Keyboard is: "CMD"+"-"

My answer is late, but on my Mac it worked with pressing Shift as well. Cmd+Shift+/

Using Cmd +Shift + / doesn't work on mac if you have the option for the help menu enabled. It was on by default, so I had to disable it in the shortcuts menu in the keyboard settings.
