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.

Ahh, I follow you. Thank you for your response @tom_l
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
