I also don't think we should do that. I think there's no need for two  
separate keybindings if one toggle binding can do it.

For me I prefer having the default keybindings as useful as possible,  
rather than as consistent as possible. As long as there's a good reason  
to go against consistency I think that's fine.

Maybe we could use Ctrl-E now that Replace will be changed to Ctrl-H,  
because commEnt has an E in it I'd find that easier to remember than  
ctrl-b or ctrl-g, and ctrl-e can be done with one hand ;-)
