Free Text Editor For Mac Os X
I cannot find a way to comment and uncomment multiple lines of code in Visual Studio Code.
![Macros Macros](/uploads/1/2/6/0/126068403/783599717.png)
Is it possible to comment and uncomment multiple lines in Visual Studio Code using some shortcut? If yes, how to do it?

Text - Editor - Studio - Competitor - Sublime If you are looking for an extensible text editor, Visual Studio is a real competitor to Sublime and Atom. Like most of Microsoft’s recent macOS efforts, it feels surprisingly at home on Apple’s platform.

Shift+Alt+A
Here you can find all the keyboard shortcuts.
PS: I prefer Ctrl+Shift+/ for toggling block comments because Ctrl+/ is shortcut for toggling line comments so it's naturally easier to remember. To do so, just click on the settings icon in the bottom left of the screen and click 'Keyboard Shortcuts' and find 'toggle block..'. Then click and enter your desired combination.

You can view the existing shortcuts using the same steps as below. I find the default ones to be inconvenient, so I used the following process to change the IDE to use the '/' command seen in the comments.
You can customize the keyboard shortcuts by going int the 'Tools' menu and selecting 'Options'. Then select 'Keyboard' from the 'Environment' branch. From there you can bind the Edit.CommentSelection and Edit.UncommentSelection commands to whichever keyboard shortcuts you'd like.

If you are using VSCode in a linux environment, then you can comment multiple lines by either:
Mac Text Editor
Text-to-speech app for mac. Selecting a block of code => then, press Ctrl + Shift + A (Block commenting)
Or, selecting a block of code => then, press Ctrl + / (Single-line commenting applied to all selected lines)
Hope this helps.
