7. in bash, I use the: [Esc], [#] combo, equivalent to: [Alt]-[Shift]-[3] (a.k.a.: "M-#" in the official docs).

This is a shortcut which basically prefixes the current line with '#' comment character and then simulates hitting Enter (pushing the commented-out line into history buffer).

And then the inverse operation, uncommenting and running, is "M-3 M-#" (any number will do, but 3 is on the same key as #).
