Is it possible to comment and uncomment multiple lines in Visual Studio Co

Answer 1

You can see all available keybindings on the official documentation.

Here's the relevant 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 select the lines you want to comment first, then execute above shortcut, i.e. ⌘/ on osx Ctrl/ on Windows.

Answer 2

For my keyboard layout it's Ctrl + § for:

//
//
//

And Shift + Alt + A for:

/*
...
*/

Answer 3

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

// public function index()
// {
//     $badgeIcon = BadgeIcon::all();
//     return $this->showAll($badgeIcon);
// }

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