By example, it is not available in a String presentation of GTInspector. This one always forces me to go to the raw presentation and use the comment.
Would it be possible to use global shortcuts in String presentation (cmd+B, cmd+M, cmd+N, etc.)?

You could change

GLMMorphicRubricTextRenderer>>#morph to act with smalltalk comment mode

morph
    ^ RubScrolledTextMorph new
        getSelectionSelector: #primarySelectionInterval;
        color: Smalltalk ui theme backgroundColor;
        textColor: Smalltalk ui theme textColor;
        textFont: StandardFonts defaultFont;
        model: textModel;
        beForSmalltalkComment;
        yourself.

This way, it behaves like the comment pane in Nautilus, it renders the text as "text" with the default font, no menu, but allows the common code mode shortcuts

cmd+b cmd+M, ( and some that doesn't make sense for every selection, like cmd+i for inspect).
