This is a default shortcut for a comment block in virtually every single code editor under the sun and there is no option to disable it under keyboard shortcuts menu in system settings. I actually disabled every single shortcut I found and it still works.

Is it possible to disable it with some terminal shenanigans I do not know about?

  • It may just be easier to change the shortcut to Command+/ in your editor. (By the way, the editor I regularly use (CotEditor, available from the Mac App Store) uses Command+/, as Xcode does.) Commented Nov 15, 2024 at 10:59
  • cmd+/ is for line comment and not block comment. I need both. Commented Nov 15, 2024 at 12:23
  • I see, wasn't aware of that... I've found a way to disable Command-Shift-/, could you check my answer and report back? Commented Nov 15, 2024 at 13:36

CommandShift/ is a global keyboard shortcut (that is, it's enabled for all apps) that moves focus to the Help menu.

Luckily, it can be disabled as follows:

  1. Open System Preferences.

  2. Select Keyboard.

  3. Press the "Keyboard Shortcuts…" button.

  4. Select "App Shortcuts".

  5. Expand "All Applications" and uncheck "Show Help menu":

  6. Press Done.

  7. Quit System Settings.

    yep that was it. I only have "All aplications" in this tab and didn't notice it was collapsed. Thanks! Commented Nov 18, 2024 at 8:29
