Does the commenting shortcut only work for certain programming languages? It works when I'm editing .java files but not .groovy. Any clue as to why?

Hello Experts, I am searching for a Linux shortcut to move tabs in Sublime text, I do not mean switching tab but moving them.
Tab 1 is the first of 3 tabs and I want to move it as last. Thanks

Having little experience with sublime Text, how do i quickly find a text with in a file ?

CMD + F will get me find but I need to copy + past search text into the search box. Surely there must be a quick way to get the selected text with in search box, like notepad++.
