Hi!
Testing on Windows 7 x64.
This feature dowsn't work [in HTML files] with clicking in the menu, and doesn't work with pressing hotkey.
[Note: this part is a feature request, already on the backlog]

In addition, if I press CTRL+/ (on NumPad) - it opens "open file dialog".
[This is the bug being tracked here]

I guess it's not supported in every filetype.

• html: no effect
• js: works

I will second this issue. Menu and shortcut do not work with HTML and CSS files, but work with JavaScript. For keyboard, I used the "/" key on my laptop's keyboard (no numpad).

Brackets doesn't support block commenting yet, which is why nothing happens in HTML and CSS files. Pull request #947 has an early implementation, and hopefully in a few weeks it'll be cleaned up enough to merge in.

Block commenting support for HTML & CSS is officially tracked by these two user stories:
https://trello.com/card/5-comment-html/4f90a6d98f77505d7940ce88/313
https://trello.com/card/5-comment-css/4f90a6d98f77505d7940ce88/312
Please feel free to vote them up if you want to give this a little extra nudge.

The NumPad issue looks like a legit bug that happens in JS files too, so I'll leave this bug open to track that issue. @brusherru, can you confirm that comment/uncomment works for you in JS content?

Updated title/description to clarify the part of this that is a bug, as opposed to a feature request. (The feature request is already tracked in the backlog stories linked above).

Confirmed fixed -- works with numpad slash now too.
