I use a Spanish keyboard.

Next to the menu item Edit->Comment/Uncomment, the hint for the corresponding keyboard shortcut is

Ctrl+Slash

On the Spanish keyboard, there is no Slash key. The slash character is done with Shift+7.

I have tried both Ctrl+7 and Ctrl+Shift+7 and neither works.

So either the shortcut is not compatible with all non-US keyboards, or the shortcut is not correctly indicated in the menu.

I believe this is essentialy the problem described at bobbylight/RSyntaxTextArea#157 which is the component we use for the editor area.

@ceinem please check to see whether the issue still occurs with the latest nightly build of Arduino IDE 2.x. The download links are listed here:
