Hello.
When i was press Ctrl+Shift for doing text shortcuts. I accidently press with * or 8 and it deletes every comment i put. i tried ctrl z but nothing happenend. the only way i can restore was close the program as i did not save. i lose my little progress on that. Is there a solution to prevent pressing ctrl+shift+8 or restore comments?
thank you.

Hi

Ctrl+Shift+8 does not delete comments. It's a toggle to hide/show comments. Just use it again to show the comments.

In case anyone has a similar question for macOS, use Shift + Command + 8 to hide comments, and simply Command + 8 (do not press Shift) to show them again. At least that’s what works on my system, which is running Mojave right now.

This also works similarly with Windows. Ctrl+Shift+8 to hide, Ctrl+8 to show.
