Question

I use PhpStorm to edit PHP files and configuration files for Apache. How to comment on the selected block and set the symbol comment? I want,for example,

   <Directory />         Options FollowSymLinks         AllowOverride None         Order deny,allow         Deny from all     </Directory> 

to

   #<Directory />    #    Options FollowSymLinks    #    AllowOverride None    #    Order deny,allow    #    Deny from all    #</Directory> 

Answer 1

Select multiple lines and use the Comment with Line Comment (Ctrl+/ in the default keymap on Windows, can be changed in Settings | Keymap).

There is also Comment with Block Comment that works for file types that have special style comment for code blocks (not applicable for .htaccess).

Answer 2

There are two possibilities (in cases where block of comment are available like php, json etc files)

First
Windows: Ctrl+/
Mac: ⌘+/

will produce

// comment 

Second
Windows: Ctrl+Shift+/
Mac: ⌘+⌥+/

will produce

/* comment */
