I think there is no shortcut key for this purpose in Visual Studio but If you use ReSharper you can use Ctrl + Shift + /.

Have a look at this may be useful as well.

Answer 5

VS 2019 I did

Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard

Type in Edit.ToggleBlockComment and add a keybinding. I chose shft + ctrl + /

Or you could put comment in the search box of the keyboard section and look at all your comment keybinding shortcut options.

Answer 6

To comment a block of code (more than one line) in VS select code with ALT (alt+mouse or alt+shift+arrows), and then comment with Ctrl+K Ctrl+C. With one line code only you don't need ALT.

So it's basically the same as with // comments, only ALT needs to be pressed while selecting code for more lines than one.
