Does Edit -> Format -> Un/Comment Selection not work?

Yes, the menu command works perfectly, but it takes time to get to it.

It's not possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to that command (on Linux anyway) which means moving hands over to the mouse or multiple keypresses to navigate the menu. Being able to hit something like CTRL + / would be great.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 5.2.45, and here's the changelog entry:

The "Control" + "/" keyboard shortcut was added to comment/uncomment lines
while editing SQL queries.

Thank you for the bug report.
