Hello all!
Is there anyway to do the subject? If so, is there a keyboard shortcut to comment the line when editing the card manually. Below is the area of the software I am talking about:
No.
The yaml from the UI editor is stored as json, and json does not support comments.
You can only use comments in yaml mode.
If this can help, Some cards allow a “description” field, which you can leverage to take notes.
It survives the yaml/json conversions.

I actually looked for an “alias” option in the Entities card before posting so I could suggest that. No luck. Just checked again. No description option either unfortunately.
Seems like the OP card header shows “vertical-stack” as the card type.
Could definitely be wrong but I think the description field works with it.
There is no such a “description” option.
Funny but you can add any option and even save the card.
But the UI editor will not work.
This is an unofficial way to comment cards:
__comment: Comment here
It saves and the card still works, but the visual editor doesn’t
I would not use it. It could all come crashing down with the next frontend update.

This is my way:
if need to describe smth in UI itself - I use markdown:
type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: markdown
content: |
some comments
even an image may be added here
style: |
ha-card { color: red; }
- type: ...
... any card
