By default on Linux/Windows for an English keyboard the shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+/ to toggle a block comment, and Ctrl+/ to toggle a line comment.
If you go into Preferences->Key Bindings - Default, you can find all the shortcuts, below are the lines for commenting.
{ "keys": ["ctrl+/"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+/"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } },
Solution 2 - Sublimetext2
In the "Preferences->Key Bindings - User"
[ { "keys": ["ctrl+7"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+7"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } }
]
Just paste it, these are will work great !

I'd like to add, that on my mac by default block comment toggle shortcut is cmd+alt+/
Solution 4 - Sublimetext2
For German keyboards use ctrl+shift+# to toggle a block comment and ctrl+# to toggle a line comment.
The shortcut in Preferences->Key Bindings - Default is set to Ctrl+Shift+/ and Ctrl+/, but to actually use the functions, press the keys stated above.

In a Brazilian Portuguese ABNT2 keyboard I have a similar issue to the one reported by JoshDM. In the file sublime-keymap I have:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+/"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+/"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } },
But I have to use ctrl+; and ctrl+shift+;. On my keyboard, ; is on the left of /.
It seems like a bug.

you need to replace "/" with "7", it works on non english keyboard layout.

This did the trick for me coming from Brackets and being used to ctrl+/ on the numpad.
[ { "keys": ["ctrl+keypad_divide"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+keypad_divide"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } }
]

In my keyboard (Swedish) it´s the key to the right of "ä": "*".
ctrl+*
Solution 9 - Sublimetext2
In keyboard (Spanish), SO: Win7.
Go into Preferences->Key Bindings - Default,
replace..."ctrl+/"]... by "ctrl+7"...
And don't use the numpad, it doesn't work. Just use the numbers above the letters

On a Mac with a US keyboard, you want cmd+/.
Solution 11 - Sublimetext2
Seems like some kind of keyboard mapping bug. I'm Portuguese, so I'm using a PT/PT keyboard. Sublime Text 3 apparently is handling / as ~.

Max OS: If you want to toggle comment multiple individual lines versus block comment an entire selection, you can do multi line edit, shift+cmd+L, then cmd+/ in that sequence.

Ctrl+d and Ctrl+Shift+d....
[{ "keys": ["ctrl+d"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+d"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } },
]

First Open The Sublime Text 2.
And top menu bar on select the Preferences.
And than select the Key Bindings -User.
And than put this code,
[ { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+c"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+c"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } }
]
I use Ctrl+Shift+C, You also different short cut key use.

On my laptop with spanish keyboard, the problem seems to be the "/" on the key binding, I changed it to ctrl+shift+c and now it works.
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+c"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } },
