Description:
Need for keyboard shortcuts for Edit->Format->Un/Comment Selection function

I suggest to replace actual  (CTRL+D) behaviour, 'cause duplicate a line isn't that useful.

Default copy and paste is enough when you want to duplicate a line or a block of text.

How to repeat:
Go to main menu tool bar click on Edit,  then Format, and then Un/Comment Selection.

Suggested fix:
My idea is use CTRL+D to un/comment a line using # (pound sign) instead of -- (two hyphen) at the beginning of line.

That would feel more natural if no text is selected.

If text is selected add a # at the beginning each line.

Have you tried ctrl+/?
Look under the Edit -> Format menu for more commands.

I using now version 6.1.7.11891 build 1788, on this version as you said ctrl+/? works perfect for Un/Comment text, thanks.
