Old way with CTRL + K CTRL + C works for commenting but old way CTRL + K CTRL + U not working anymore for uncomment, if anyone know new shortcut I will be grateful.
Thanks.
I just updated my VSCode to the version you mentioned. The combinations work exactly as you described. It must be something that was changed on your computer.
Go to File => Preferences => Keyboard Shortcuts
(Or press CTRL + K and then CTRL + S)
look for Remove Line Comment. In my settings it still says
If your VSCode has a different keybinding, change it back to what you want.
I had the same problem. In the newer version its actually CTRL+/ to uncomment.
CTRL+/
Note that this is the / on the numeric keypad!
Mac OS you can use COMMAND + / for commenting and uncommenting
In windows Inorder to comment and uncomment the code in VS CODE
CTRL + K ========> to comment the code
CTRL + / ========> to uncomment the code
use ctrl+ / to uncomment in VS Code.
On Windows, I am using strg + #
It's a default shortcut in VSCode --> toggle line comment
but it works also for blocks.
In windows system, below commands works for me for comment and uncomment in VS CODE-
CTRL + K --- to comment OR CTRL + / ---to comment
CTRL + / --- to uncomment
For windows:
Remove Comment Line:- ctrl+k ctrl+u
For Mac OS just select all the stuff you want to comment or uncomment and press Command + /
What worked for me is :
CTRL + Shift + K
I'm using VS code on Mac, Version: 1.49.0 and I had similar problem.
In my case shortcut "cmd + k, cmd + u" made text uppercase. It turned out I have two commands assigned to this shortcut.
In "Keyboard Shortcuts" you can also filter by shortcuts (or "Keybindings") by pressing keyboard icon on the right in the search bar, it will record keys:
To fix this, I just changed "Transform to Uppercase" Keybinding to something else as I rarely use it.
Take care. Some extensions change the keyboard shortcuts. Take a look in the attached screenshot. I don't know what extension changed mine to Shift + Ctrl + K on Windows.
I recommend instead of using separate shortcuts for add/remove comment to set toggle line/block comment with the same shortcut so it also remove comment when the line/block is commented out:
editor.action.commentLine
editor.action.blockComment
you can use
Ctrl + /
for both comment and uncomment the code in vscode
Use CTRL+/ for both comment and uncomment.
Also here is the cheatsheet with all shortcuts.

I cannot find a way to comment and uncomment multiple lines of code in Visual Studio Code.
Is it possible to comment and uncomment multiple lines in Visual Studio Code using some shortcut? If yes, how to do it?
Windows: Shift+Alt+A
Linux: Shift+Ctrl+A
Here you can find all the keyboard shortcuts:
Windows VSCode Shortcuts
Linux VSCode 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.
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)
See the official doc : Key Bindings for Visual Studio Code
How to comment out multiline / single line in VS Code:
MacOS:
Shift + Option + A:
/* multiline
comment */
CMD + /:
// single line comment
Windows:
Shift + Alt + A:
/* multiline
comment */
CTRL + /:
// single line comment
How to remap / change these shortcuts?
Windows: File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.
MacOS: Code > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.
You can search through the list both by keybindings (key names) and command names.
Read: How to set shortcuts from another text editor (Sublime, Atom etc)?
Official docs: Key Bindings for Visual Studio Code
The keyboard shortcut to comment multiple in Windows is shift+alt+A.
In my case, Ubuntu, the shortcut is ctrl+shift+A.
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.
In MacOS comment out multi-lines in Visual Studio Code by keyboard shortcut:
Option + Shift + A
/*
...
...
*/
Or,
Select all lines and then press CTRL + /
Try option 1 first. If it doesn't work for you then try option 2 which is the actual shortcut for VS Code:
Option 1. Alt / Option + Shift + A
Option 2. While the text is selected hit Ctrl / Cmd+K and then Ctrl / Cmd+C.
As of now (version 1.16.3), you can check all available keyboard shortcuts by going into
File > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts. Here you can search for shortcuts related to code comments.
For users who are coming from Sublime Text or likes to have Ctrl+Shift+/, you can make the change from the above mentioned settings panel or simply install the Sublime Text Keymap extension by Microsoft.
Update: As VS Code has become pretty much standard editor for almost everything these days, I would say picking option 1 is always helpful.
For my keyboard layout it's Ctrl + § for:
//
//
//
And Shift + Alt + A for:
/*
...
*/
For me to comment I use:
Ctrl + k, Ctrl + c
and to uncomment:
Ctrl + k, Ctrl + u
I am using ubuntu 18.0.4
To comment multiple line on visual code use
shift+alt+a
To comment single line use
ctrl + /
Select all line you want comments
CTRL + /
Win10 with French / English Keyboard CTRL + / , ctrl+k+u and ctrl+k+l don't work.
Here's how it works:
/* */ SHIFT + ALT + A
// CTRL + É
É key is next to right Shift.
All the key board shorcuts for VS code can be found in the link : Link
Add a Line comment Ctrl+K Ctrl+C
Remove a line comment Ctrl+K Ctrl+U
More shortcut Ctrl+/
On Windows 10 you can use CTRL + } to comment/uncomment on any line or block of code.
CTRL + SHIFT + A for CSS multiline
Ubuntu 16
VSCode Version 1.17.2
For multiline commenting in Python VSCode, all you have to do it just:
Ctrl + /
If you are using VSCode in a linux environment, then you can comment multiple lines by either:
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.
In the new version of VSCODE ( version 1.26.1)
Go to File > preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
Search for comment Double click the existing shortcut 'keybinding`
And press the new keyboard shortcut in my case ctrl + shfit + /
You can assign any shortcuts you want. Hope it helps.
You can find the shortcut in the Edit menu :
Edit > Toggle Block Comment => Shift-Alt-A

I currently use a variety of keyboard shortcuts in Eclipse such as:
Ctrl + Shift + R: Open Resources
Ctrl + F6: Switch Files in Editor
Ctrl + Q, ? To switch to desired window
Ctrl + Alt + R: To Restart My server
Ctrl + O: To view an outline of a class
F12: to go to the editor
What are some other productive shortcuts I may not be using?
Shift + Ctr + L
This opens the list of keyboard shortcuts ;-)
My favorite is quick access: Ctrl+3 and start typing anything you are looking for...
Here are my frequently used hot keys and I do think they improve my productivity very much
Alt+/ to use the code templates that are defined in the Windows→Preferences→Java→Editor→Template
Ctrl + Shift + R to find files of any type.
Ctrl + Shift + O to organize imports and import the missing imports automatically
Ctrl + Click on a variables / functions to go to its declaration
Ctrl + T on a method or class shows the whole inheritance tree, for example all methods which implement an interface.
In vim, pressing * in command mode performs an automatic search of the word under the cursor. How can I obtain the same in Eclipse?
A combination of two keystrokes:
First, hit Ctrl + Shift + Right Arrow to invoke "Select Enclosing Element". This will select the word under your cursor.
Use Ctrl + K (Cmd + K on OS X) to "find next".
It appears it was not possible in 2004, and it's still not possible, apparently. I'm speechless...
I also need this functionality and created a small plug-in which adds commands for doing this. You can download it and find more details here: http://eclipselabs.org/p/eclipse-tweaks/
Windows 10, tested on Eclipse 2020-03:
Two Steps:
1. Alt + Shift + Up Arrow, to select the word under the cursor
2. Ctrl + K to find the selected word forward
(Ctrl + Shift + K to find the selected word backward)
NOTE:
If you are inside an XML tag, Alt + Shift + Up Arrow will select from the beginning of the tag to the end tag, including all enclosing elements. Try it!
BONUS:
Ctrl + Shift + Down/Up arrows to navigate methods, as sometimes the selected word is a method you want to go to.
Better still,
Ctrl + O - Go to a specific method, by searching (Just enter the first few letters of the method, and Enter)
Cheers
Press Ctrl + k on a Windows machine. On a Mac, Cmd + k should work (seen here).
Not exactly the same, but maybe helpfull if you work with java. In a .java file you can press
CTRL + SHIFT + u
to find occurences in the same source file.
You can also use Shift + Ctrl + K to search next backwards.
Hey, question says it all.
I have folding turned on in Eclipse (v3.4), and rather than having to click the little +/- in the page gutter, I'm wondering if there's a keyboard shortcut to just "fold the current method". A quick look at the menus and what-not in eclipse doesn't show a menu item for it, so maybe you just can't do it.
Anyone?
To expand on petrilli's answer:
Ctrl + Numpad_Multiply can also be used to expand all
Ctrl + Shift + Numpad_Divide is bound to collapse all
Ctrl + Numpad_Divide toggles folding on and off
And yes, they can all be rebound, if you know what text to filter on in Windows | Preferences | General | Keys.
"Folding", "Expand", "Collapse" are keywords that should get you all of the relevant commands.
By default they're bound to Ctrl + Numpad_Minus and Ctrl + Numpad_Plus, but you can rebind them.
If you are using eclipse-pydev then the default keybinds are
ctrl + 9 : collapse all one level
ctrl + 0 : expand all one level
ctrl + -_ : collapse current location
ctrl + =+ : expand current
