ctrl+/ to comment or uncomment a line #4

Here's another Enhancement or user-setting toggle suggestion. I noticed that the keybinding of Sublime Text allows line-by-line commenting out/in by using the default text editor "comment line" syntax keystroke "ctrl+/".
Problem is, Stata allows both types of line commenting -- the "" character or the more typical "//" characters. I prefer the "//" commenting, because this is less of an overloaded character set than the "" symbol. So - I'd love it if I could change the "ctrl+/" keystroke to toggle with leading "//" instead.
Is this something to be added/modified in StataEditor source - or do you know if there's a different place to do it?

Background: There's some pretty decent "auto-documenting" packages out there such as StatDoc--which require some care/standardization on how files are constructed for a project. See rule #6 - https://github.com/mas802/statdoc/wiki/Stata-do-file-Style-Guide

Thanks for any info or feature updates!

I agree that it makes sense to use "//" as default. Version 0.6.3 supports this and also changes the syntax highlighting (including partial line comments).

Confirmed feature addition. Absolutely lovely. Thanks, and have a happy holiday season!
