Come on, don't be so hard on him - it looks like he already did what is necessary to provide more information.

And that gives him the right to be rude and aggressive?

I am still fighting with this issue - Ctrl+/ shortcut
I found something interesting. I have Windows 10. When I make modification using Program settings / KeyMap, the Ctrl+/ works for me, but Ctrl+/ on the numeric keyboard doesn't work.
After PSPad restart, Ctrl+/ on the numeric keyboard works but the standard / key doesn't.

On the Windows XP the behavior is different - Key is saved in the KEYMap file, but isn't loaded.
Same behavior is on the Windows 7.

It means there is different keys presentation from operating system.

Result: under Windows 10 it works only in time you assign it. After shortcut is saved (translated from shortcut to string) and loaded (translated from string to shortcut), it doesn't work.

I found the key / can't be bind as shortcut. Only the key Num / can be bind.
Standard routines for translation string are not able translate / key.

Thank you for your efforts and the feedback info.
As far as I remember a standard keyboard (such as the 101-key US traditional keyboard or the 104-key Windows keyboard) has always returned special key code sequences for keys on the numerical keypad, e.g. "/" key (near right "Shift") is different from "Num /" key (near "Num Lock"). I don't know how big influence a specific OS with its specific logical keyboard layout has on it. But I have never had any problems with the "Ctrl+/" 2-key shortcut combination in the "Eclipse PHP IDE" (a.k.a. "Eclipse for PHP Developers") neither under Windows XP Pro nor under Windows 7 HP. I guess that some sort of inheritance of a buggy class (IDE component) or overloading of a buggy method would be necessary to overcome this problem but I leave that to your discretion.

I confirm that exchanging the "Ctrl+/" on a "Ctrl+Num /" 2-key shortcut combination in step 4 of my 10 step by step procedure (described earlier) makes it ("Ctrl+Num /") work under Windows XP Pro right after applying the changes in the PSPad editor settings as well as after restarting the editor (steps 8 and 9). Although it is presented correctly as the "Ctrl+Num /" only in the "New Shortcut:" field of the "Add/Remove Comment" window when setting for the first time and is presented incorrectly as a "Ctrl+/" anywhere else (on the list in "Key Map" tab in the "Program Settings..." window, in the "New Shortcut:" field when edited, in the "Format"\"Add/Remove Comment" menu option, in the "KeyMap.INI" file), the "Ctrl+/" doesn't work because "Ctrl+Num /" works.
Setting the "Ctrl+/" makes it work only after applying the changes while after restarting the editor it silently (magically) changes to working as the "Ctrl+Num /" (the "Ctrl+/" previously set doesn't work any more) - there's no difference in the "KeyMap.INI" file when setting the "Ctrl+/" or the "Ctrl+Num /" 2-key shortcut combination in the editor settings but there is a difference in the actual key code sequences returned from the keyboard. Interesting!
