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:

/* multiline

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:
/*

Is there any way to comment lines with syntax error via shortcut automatically? I mean not just CTRL + / on every line (with syntax errors) manually.
There is no one short cut to do what you require, but you could use a combination.
Windows Short Cuts
Go to the next error: Ctrl + .
Go to the previous error: Ctrl + ,
Then
Comment that error: Ctrl + /
Extra
If you really wanted you could download a add-on and create a macro to automate the two short cuts into one.

Thought I would chime in with some helpful shortcuts from my other answer:
If you can't remember all shortcuts, then just learn Ctrl + Shift + L. That will show a list of available shortcuts.

I found what does work by going to keyboard mapping and searching for
comment. There I found ctrl+c ctrl+c adds and alt+0 ctrl+c ctrl+c removes
comments from pre-selected code. The key to this answer is: check your own
keyboard mapping. (tool-option-keymap).
To out comment on my Mac from Germany, I only have to press: cmd + shift + c
On Windows, it is ctrl + shift + c
Does anyone know if there is the shortcut "go to line + column" in Eclipse?
Ctrl+L Jump to Line Number. To hide/show line numbers, press ctrl+F10 and select 'Show Line Numbers'
There is no way to go to a particular column according to my knowledge.
On OSX, the shortcut is ⌘ + L
It you want more short-cuts, refer http://www.shortcutworld.com/en/win/Eclipse.html
As you are aware CTRL+L goes to a particular Line, there is also CTRL+Q to go to the last edit location. The is no key combination in Eclipse to go to a particular Line and Column.
You can use a Keyboard Macro (available as hardware in some keyboards and included as software with some other keyboards). An explanation for Microsoft is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237179 .
A Program like Autohotkey http://www.autohotkey.com/ can also be used.
You can use Ctrl + L to jump to specific line number
You can find a large list of eclipse shortcuts here: http://javatutorial.net/eclipse-shortcuts
You can use 'Command' + L to find line number in eclipse.
You can use CTRL + forward or backward key to jump to the next dot in the same line.
for example, in System.out.println("test"); you can switch between System, out and println by using CTRL + forward and backward key.
