The way it works now is really the least magical thing it could do and it actually does toggle comments, it just doesn't specify which comments it toggles. I suggest adding a tooltip to the menu item with a short description of how it only toggles its own special comments (if it doesn't already have one, if it does, it doesn't work here).

BTW Geany in my en_CA locale says "Toggle Line Commentation" for that menu item, which is maybe even slightly more confusing due to the two meanings of 'line' in this context; 'single-line-comment-token' vs 'comment-the-current-caret-line-action', the latter being only partially accurate since it comments multiple lines if they're selected. Though just using the feature once shows exactly what it does, so probably not a big deal.

IMO the discoverability is more hampered by being in a nested sub-menu than the slightly ambiguous naming.
