Answer 1

Command + Shift + 7

or

Command + /

Inserts // before each selected line.

Answer 2

Xcode Version 6.1

Shortcuts:

In the comment: select a code for comments, ⌘ + /

To uncomment: select a code, press ⌘ + /

Also see the task bar "Editor"> "Structure" (un) "Select Comment", as indicated by user 2137640.

Answer 3

The answer is actually very simple if you want to comment on a continuous sequence of lines. Select consecutive lines, then simply press ⌘ / .

I have no idea how to comment on several lines that are not related to each other. Maybe someone can help with this, if possible (I doubt it).

Answer 4

There is such a function in the menu. Try: Edit-> Insert Text Macro-> C-> Comment Section. It will create a comment (multi-line) around the currently selected text.

However, using the menu is probably often slower than manually inserting comments. But you can also bind a key to a menu item using the settings key binding settings.

Answer 5

For a single line, use the comment ⌘ + /
For multi-line comment you need to install CComent plugin

use alcatraz to install plugin manager

Answer 6

Got! You must back out of the lines so that the comments are the first character in the line, not a tab or space, and then by pressing CMD + /. Just tried it in Xcode 5.1.1, it works like a charm.

Answer 7

It worked!

Draw the desired lines, then press Command + /

The same rule applies to uncommentation.

Answer 8

in Xcode 7.x

Shortcuts:

In the comment: select a code for comments, ⌘ + /

To uncomment: select a code, press ⌘ + /

Answer 9

For xcode 8 →
sudo / usr / libexec / xpccachectl
restart the computer.

Answer 10

Xcode 11 now supports multiple multi-line comments (shortcut unavailable). Just enter / * to start multi-line comments.

Hope this helps you.
