Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/5592

When editing request bodies in Hoppscotch (especially JSON), I normally use the shortcut Cmd + / to toggle comments.
This works in Postman and all major IDEs (VS Code, IntelliJ, etc.) but in Hoppscotch it always opens the keyboard shortcuts popup, which blocks the default Monaco Editor behavior.

Because of this, I cannot quickly comment multiple lines, and I am forced to comment each line manually, which is very frustrating during debugging.

Steps to Reproduce

Open any request body in Hoppscotch
Type some JSON
Press Cmd + /
Instead of adding/removing // comment markers, Hoppscotch opens the "Shortcuts" popup

Expected Behavior

Cmd + / should toggle comments in the editor (same as VS Code, Postman, etc.)
OR
Hoppscotch should allow overriding or disabling its global keyboard shortcut
OR
Provide a configurable keybinding system

Heavily in favour of this one! Commenting out is now really a tedious process.
