I have enrolled new team which are using Visual Studio, but I have a MAC computer. I have a chance to get Windows computer also, but I am curious about something. Can I use Visual Studio Code instead of Win Visual Studio? Has it all properties of Win version?

No, it does not. Visual Studio Code for mac is mostly an editor, not a full fledged IDE as Visual Studio for Windows is. Check out the FAQ.

You can use Visual Studio Code on Windows, but is only a editor and not a IDE like Visual Studio, then maybe the best is if you need have windows install Visual Studio and also install ReSharper or another tools.

If you love Mac/linux and don't feel very comfortable with Windows, you can work with Visual Code with any problem or use Rider project

is a new IDE for C# for run net core app.

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?

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.

• Select the lines you want to comment/uncomment

• Execute the command editor.action.commentLine (default shortcut on Windows: CTRL + /)

  or

  execute the command editor.action.addCommentLine (default shortcut on Windows: ctrl+k ctrl+c) respectively editor.action.removeCommentLine (default shortcut on Windows: ctrl+k ctrl+u)

See the official doc : Key Bindings for Visual Studio Code

1.Select the text, Press Cntl + K, C to comment (Ctr+E+C )2.Move the cursor to the first line after the delimiter // and before the Code text.3.Press Alt + Shift and use arrow keys to make selection. ... 4.Once the selection is done, press space bar to enter a single space.

visual studio 2017 we do a: Comment Selection

press Ctrl+K to get shortcut. press Ctrl+C to confirm http://visualstudioshortcuts.com/2017/

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.

CTRL + / comment / uncomment multiple lines of code

ctrl+k+u for upper case latter

ctrl+k+l for lower case latter

Stephen Rauch

As of now (version 1.18.0), you can check keyboard shortcuts by going toFile > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts. Here you can search for comment related shortcuts.

For users who are coming from Sublime Text or likes to have Ctrl+Shift+/, you can make the change from the above mentioned setting or simply install the Sublime Text Keymap extension by Microsoft.

on Windows 10, Italian Keyboard, VSC 1.19.1:

Select lines that you want comment and press 'Ctrl + ù'

Visual Studio Code For Mac 10.6.8

In windows you need to press ctrl + / in mac you can do Command ⌘ + / to make multiple comment

Then if you want to un-comment then select the lines again and then press ctrl + /(in windows) again Command ⌘ + /(in mac).

You can find the shortcut in the Edit menu :

Edit > Toggle Block Comment => Shift-Alt-A

Sylvain RodrigueSylvain Rodrigue

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)

Visual Studio Code For Mac

Or, selecting a block of code => then, press Ctrl + / (Single-line commenting applied to all selected lines)

Hope this helps.
