  • Select the lines you want to comment / uncomment

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

    or

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

You can see all the available keywords in the official documentation .

Here is the corresponding bit for osx:

 Key Command ⌘K ⌘C Add Line Comment ⌘K ⌘U Remove Line Comment ⌘/ Toggle Line Comment ⇧⌥A Toggle Block Comment

You will need to first select the lines you want to comment on, and then execute the above shortcut, i.e. ⌘/ in osx Ctrl/ in Windows.

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

You can customize keyboard shortcuts by going to the "Tools" menu and selecting "Options." Then select "Keyboard" in the "Environment" branch. From there, you can bind the Edit.CommentSelection and Edit.UncommentSelection commands to any key combinations you would like.

At the moment (version 1.18.0) you can check the keyboard shortcuts by going to File> Settings> Hotkeys. Here you can search for labels associated with comments.

For users who come from Sublime Text or like to have Ctrl + Shift + / , you can make changes from the above option or just install the Microsoft Sublime Text Keymap .
