"If you have the XML Tools plug-in, you can use the following shortcuts for block commenting/uncommenting:

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C — comment selection
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R — uncomment selection.

As for the Ctrl+Shift+K shortcut not working, you should probably report the problem to the Notepad++ developer.

Edit: Looks like the standard Block comment (Ctrl+K), Block uncomment (Ctrl+Shift+K) and Toggle block comment (Ctrl+Q) commands don't work with XML at all. (I'm using v. 5.5 by the way.)"

"I had the situation to remote comments from a properties / ini file.

used the reg expression ^.#.$ to search and replace with blank (see here

next steps remote blank lines.

This might help you to remove comment from a text file"
