This gives a panel where you can select the app (TeXShop.app) the Menu Title (Comment) and the keyboard shortcut. The only strange thing is that the menu displays the shortcut as Shft-Cmd-[ (which is {) on a US keyboard but it seems to work.

It took a bit of time to figure things out (TeXShop isn't in the list of apps shown in the menu, probably because it is in a subfolder of /Applications, you have to select Other and navigate to it, and then the menu name needs to be entered manually), but doing that:

Howdy,

As you probably guessed I use the US local with a US keyboard. I removed the keyboard shortcut Shft-Cmd-[ (which is Cmd-{ on the US keyboard but displayed as Shft-Cmd-[ in the TeXShop 5.44 Source Menu for the Comment item) from System Settings->Keyboard->… and installed Dick's TeXShop 5.45 test. Now it's back to normal but the Source Menu shows the shortcuts as Shft-Cmd-[ and Shft-Cmd-] for the Comment and Un-Comment menu items.

Good Luck,
