I do most of my stuff in Ruby, where I just have the TM_COMMENT_START  
(in the Ruby “Comments” Preference inside the Bundle Editor) option  
set to "#" instead of "# ", and use ⌘/ to comment out a line.

This works out great because if I want to comment out a line of code,  
it's already there, so ⌘/ makes it a “code comment.” If I want to  
make a text comment, I start by making the comment marker, so the  
caret is already right where I need to make the space.

No.
