First, select the lines you want to comment/uncomment (CTRL+L is convenient to select a few lines)

Then:

• To toggle line comments, execute editor.action.commentLine (CTRL+/ on Windows)

  or

• To add line comments, execute editor.action.addCommentLine (CTRL+K CTRL+C)

  To remove line comments, execute editor.action.removeCommentLine (CTRL+K CTRL+U)

  or

• To toggle a block comment, execute editor.action.blockComment (SHIFT-ALT-A)
