XCode 14.0 comment shortcut not working anymore

Previously using ( ⌘ + / ) to comment a block is not working anymore...

For some (unknown) reason, it has been changed to ⌘ + ;

You can revert it back by changing in Xcode preferences.

It depends on your keyboard layout : for Italian keyboard it is ⌘ + ´ may be linked to the position of a key on US keyboard ?

In my case ⌘+/ show the help Menu although I changed the shortcut for this case, anyone more with this case?

I can confirm that for italian keyboards it's ⌘ + ´, which is usually used in the rest of MacOs for switching between windows of the same app (except for Finder, which has been recently changed for no reason to ⌘ + <, making it cumbersome and unusable). This is so dumb I can't even comment (and I am not referring to code comments..)

I had the same problem after I installed Xcode 14.0. On my swiss keyboard / is obtained with the combination ⇧7.

I fixed it thus

  • in the new Ventura System Settings - Keyboard - Keyboard Shortcuts - App Shortcuts I unchecked All Applications - Show Help menu, no big loss since I can access it from the toolbar
  • Xcode - Settings - Keyboard Bindings, the checkbox Adapt to current keyboard was checked, and I left it checked
  • in Xcode - Settings - Keyboard Bindings - Editor Menu for Source Code I selected Structure - Comment Selection and recorded the combination ⇧⌘7
  • the recorded combination is displayed as ⇧⌘/
  • now the block comment toggle works in my Xcode editor

Crosscheck

  • I went back to the first step above, and checked All Applications - Show Help menu; this overrode immediately my settings in Xcode, so I left it unchecked.

HTH

That's worked for me! Thanks @rudifa!

Thanks @rudifa! That's worked for me Xcode 14.2.

(⌘ + ß) works for me -> German keyboard

In my case, it was because I had the Comment Here Xcode Extension installed, which I'd set up to handle comments through Comment Here > Toggle Comments (Editor Menu for Source Code) instead of the usual Xcode action, Structure > Comment Selection (Editor Menu for Source Code). It appears it had lost permissions following an Xcode update.

I granted it permissions again through System Settings > Privacy & Security > Others > Extensions > Xcode Source Editor:
