I cannot find a way to comment and uncomment multiple lines of code in Visual Studio Code.

Is it possible to comment and uncomment multiple lines in Visual Studio Code using some shortcut? If yes, how to do it?

Shift+Alt+A

Here you can find all the keyboard shortcuts.

PS: I prefer Ctrl+Shift+/ for toggling block comments because Ctrl+/ is shortcut for toggling line comments so it's naturally easier to remember. To do so, just click on the settings icon in the bottom left of the screen and click 'Keyboard Shortcuts' and find 'toggle block...'. Then click and enter your desired combination.

• Select the lines you want to comment/uncomment

• Execute the command editor.action.commentLine (default shortcut on Windows: CTRL + /)

  or

  execute the command editor.action.addCommentLine (default shortcut on Windows: ctrl+k ctrl+c) respectively editor.action.removeCommentLine (default shortcut on Windows: ctrl+k ctrl+u)

See the official doc : Key Bindings for Visual Studio Code

The keyboard shortcut to comment multiple in Windows is shift+alt+A.

visual studio 2017 we do a: Comment Selection

press Ctrl+K to get shortcut. press Ctrl+C to confirm http://visualstudioshortcuts.com/2017/

You can view the existing shortcuts using the same steps as below. I find the default ones to be inconvenient, so I used the following process to change the IDE to use the '/' command seen in the comments.

You can customize the keyboard shortcuts by going int the 'Tools' menu and selecting 'Options'. Then select 'Keyboard' from the 'Environment' branch. From there you can bind the Edit.CommentSelection and Edit.UncommentSelection commands to whichever keyboard shortcuts you'd like.

CTRL + / comment / uncomment multiple lines of code

ctrl+k+u for upper case latter

ctrl+k+l for lower case latter

Stephen Rauch

As of now (version 1.18.0), you can check keyboard shortcuts by going toFile > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts. Here you can search for comment related shortcuts.

For users who are coming from Sublime Text or likes to have Ctrl+Shift+/, you can make the change from the above mentioned setting or simply install the Sublime Text Keymap extension by Microsoft.

on Windows 10, Italian Keyboard, VSC 1.19.1:

Select lines that you want comment and press 'Ctrl + ù'

In windows you need to press ctrl + / in mac you can do Command ⌘ + / to make multiple comment

Then if you want to un-comment then select the lines again and then press ctrl + /(in windows) again Command ⌘ + /(in mac).

You can find the shortcut in the Edit menu :

Edit > Toggle Block Comment => Shift-Alt-A

Sylvain RodrigueSylvain Rodrigue

If you are using VSCode in a linux environment, then you can comment multiple lines by either:

Selecting a block of code => then, press Ctrl + Shift + A (Block commenting)

Or, selecting a block of code => then, press Ctrl + / (Single-line commenting applied to all selected lines)

Hope this helps.

Python is NOT supported on Visual Studio for Mac.

Visual Studio Mac Free

Let Visual Studio think about your code and tell you which types go where. Tooltips, completions and code snippets make you more productive.

Third-party libraries are the fastest way to solve your problems. Use our pip, PyPI and virtual environment support to manage your projects and dependencies.

None of us write perfect code all the time, but when it goes wrong Visual Studio can help. Visually step through your code, view or modify state, and interact with your program regardless of the operating system.

Manage your Git/TFS projects, pending changes, and branches with ease using Team Explorer, or check out one of the many source control extensions available for Visual Studio.

Make sure your code is working correctly without leaving Visual Studio. View, edit, run, and debug unit test-style tests from the Test Window.
