I'm using a Latin American Spanish keyboard layout, and the slash key is only reachable as SHIFT+7. In Overleaf v1 I used the Edit menu and the Toggle comment operation. How can this be done in Overleaf v2?

Do you have a numeric keypad on the right hand side of your keyboard? I had the same issue with a canadian keyboard and found out that the / symbol could also be found at the top of the numeric keypad. I was able to use the Ctrl+/ shortcut by using the / on the numeric keypad.

    At least for me, it wasn't working when I asked the question. But now it works with CTRL+SHIFT+7.

    This does not work on a mac with a foreign keyboard (mine is German), the mac shortcut should be CMD+SHIFT+7 but nothing happens, independent of browser used.

I have a MacBook with German keyboard and only CMD + SHIFT + ß works for commenting. The command SHIFT + ß is equivalent to ? key.

  • Thanks a lot, this did it for me. I am using a Macbook Air 13" with German layout and CMD + Shift + 7 did not work for me even after disabling the system shortcut.

Italian keyboard of a MacBook. The / is only reachable as SHIFT + 7

CMD + / does not work to "toggle comment on multiple line" in Overleaf.

The following works:

CTRL + SHIFT + 3

  • Can confirm this also for a Mac with Swiss German layout.
