I hadn't thought about Ctrl-? being used for help, and am not sure if this would be typical. In J, the F1 key is used for help (with all modifier combinations).
I only suggested Ctrl+Shift+/ for Note'' because I use it a lot, and do find it a little awkward to add and remove it from a block of lines. I suspect many people are unaware of Note'' and how useful it is. Of course you could still block comment with NB. by highlighting a list of lines and pressing Ctrl+/.
