The multiline comment hotkey documentation has inconsistencies:
Editor specificity: Adding "(on VS Code)" only for multiline comments is inconsistent since the earlier part of the sentence refers to "most editors" without specifying which one. This creates confusion about whether the Mac instructions apply generally or only to VS Code.
Key order: The standard convention is to list modifier keys in order (Shift before Option), so it should be
key:Shift+Option+Arather thankey:Option+Shift+A.Incomplete information: If you're going to specify VS Code for multiline comments, you should clarify what applies to other editors. Alternatively, provide the general Mac equivalent like the original approach, or note that multiline comment hotkeys vary by editor.
Consider revising to either:
- Keep it general: "For Mac, try
key:Cmd+/for single-line comments andkey:Cmd+Option+/orkey:Shift+Option+Afor multiline comments (varies by editor)." - Or be consistent about editor-specificity throughout the sentence.
