In Octave GUI Editor the Ctrl+R shortcut comments the selected lines out with the Octave default string ##. But I share my code with other colleagues who use MATLAB. I was wondering if I could change the above keyboard shortcut and the Ctrl+Shift+R to use the MATLAB commenting character % by default? I'm aware of the Ctrl+Alt+R shortcut where one can choose the string, but that is not very handy given the muscle memory and the extra step.

P.S. I posted this question also here on the unofficial Octave Discord channel.

OK, I think I found the solution, and it was way easier than what I had anticipated. Basically, the Octave GUI team had already thought of that. Just go to Edit > Preference, and then in the Comments (Octave) section, select the % option:
