Toggle commenting in auctex?

Toggle commenting in auctex?

[saneman]

I am using auctex in emacs22 on Ubuntu 7.10. Is there a way to 
comment/uncomment a selected region with a short key?

I would like to just press C-d and the a selected region should be 
commented and when I press C-d again the comments should be removed.

Does not comment-dwim (which is in M-;) work for you?

I works when I choose it from the menu, but how do I redefine it to C-d?

Try something like

(global-set-key "\C-d" 'comment-dwim)

Of course, C-d is normally delete character... you might want to find
a different key to bind comments to. For more info, see chapter 57.4
of the emacs manual.

In emacs 'd' and the 'delete' key are the same for some reason. Is there 
a way to assign the operation to 'd' without also assigning it too 'delete'?

(global-set-key "\C-d" 'comment-dwim)
(define-key function-key-map [delete] [deletechar])

Does not work. If I have selected a region of text and press delete it 
get commented and not deleted.
