I definitely had to reset the Prefs, actually twice, before it worked.  
Some here on the list have actually gone in and deleted the  
preferences file, but I can't remember where they said that file is  
located.

And it appears I spoke too soon concerning the fix not working with  
the comment character set to '#'. I just went back in and tried it  
with 3.5 gm-2. and the keyboard shortcut worked perfectly for both the  
# and -- settings. So something may have been fixed since the last  
time I had tested it.

It might be worth resetting your preferences again, to see if it's  
working for you now.
