Sorry, I think I was unclear in my explanation. I'm not saying that I just forgot what I wanted to do after selecting a block of code, I'm saying that I have to remember which key combination to press depending on whether the selected block is commented or not ("Is this block commented? Ok yeah, I need to press U. Is it uncommented? Oh, I need to press C instead). It's way better when I don't have to think about which hotkey I have to use and I just know that the same key will perform both actions.

But you're right, I think after doing it for a while muscle memory would take over so it becomes a non issue.

But Comment starts with 'C' and Uncomment starts with 'U'? I mean I'd agree if it was like 'T' for comment and 'M' for uncomment or something like that, but I mean it's not...

e: what behaviour does a contextual one do for something like:

code:

if (x == 5) {
  // x *= 20;
  x *= 3;
  // return x + 3;
  return x + 20;
}

? I've never used that feature before tbh.
