2 questions actually :

1) shortcut to toggle comment on selected lines ? Available on all iDEs I used starting with notepad++

2)the ctrl-k, ctrl-c exhibits this behavior (quoted from someplace nicely worded):

C#: Each line where some text is selected is commented at the line-start with double-slash. If nothing is selected, the line where the cursor is is commented.

C++: If nothing is selected or complete lines are selected, it behaves as above. However, if parts of a line are selected, and no comment is selected as part of the selection (ex. select something in the middle of a code line), then the selection is surrounded by /* and */.

since I code in C++ I find this behavior annoying - I want to be able to comment out lines partially selected - any workarounds ?
