I can't figure out which key to press on a Mac keyboard to trigger the uncomment command in LiveCode code editor. Could someone kindly point out where the specified key is located on a QWERTY keyboard? In the menu it sort of looks like "command _" but I don't know what key to press. (Searching 'uncomment' in the User Guide didn't help with this.)

Hi Bill,

come on, you know how to type an underscore _ right?
Then press the COMMAND key additionally and that's it!

Typing an underscore is achieved by holding the shift key down while pressing the key just to the right of the number 0 on my Mac keyboard. When I do this while in the Code Editor the Edit menu blinks but the selected commented code is NOT uncommented.

So, my question remains. I'm typing the right sequence but it's not working. Why?

Hi Bill,

Ok, tried here on my MAc and works.
The trick is to press CMD and SHIFT together FIRST and then then "-" additionally.

Sorry, only have a german keyboard here, but should be similar on your keyboard.

I know how to use keyboard shortcuts. For some reason command-shift-underscore doesn't work on my Mac in LiveCode 4.6.4 to uncomment commented code.

I don't know what else to do. As indicated, the code is highlighted, the keyboard sequence is propertly pressed, the Edit menu blinks indicating the command is being received but the commented code is NOT uncommented.

I've also checked all of my custom system keyboard shortcuts (which aren't that many) and my custom Keyboard Maestro global and application specific keyboard shortcuts and see no conflicts with command-shift-underscore. So, I'm at a loss for what the problem is.
