Answer 4

I use this sequence (not a 'linear' shortcut but useful anyway):

• alt+c then alt+b (holding alt) for block comment
• alt+c then alt+l (holding alt) for line comment

(they use the android studio menu)

Answer 5

In android studio you can do single comment with (go to line then Ctrl+/) and block comment with ( select text then Ctrl+Shift+/)

Also if you want to change color of commented text go to File->Settings->IDE settings->Editor->Color & fonts->Java->(Line comment or block comment) and change properties. I prefer it to be green which is used in notepad++ editor.

Answer 6

For Line Comment hold both:

Ctrl + /

For Block Comment hold all three:

Ctrl + Shift + /

Same way to remove the comment block.
