What is the shortcut for commenting out multiple lines?

JavaScript

Is there any shortcuts to comment out multiple lines of code in JavaScript? I know the shortcut for the single line is ctrl+/

Hi @itsxxtx

You can use

/*

turn code into comment

*/

Happy coding

Thank you, but what I was asking about is if there is a keyboard shortcut…

Select the lines you want to turn into a comment, then apply the short cut from your post.

I’ve tried that, but it doesn’t work…
This is how it turns out:

// lines
// to be
// commented

CTRL + K followed by C

So hold CTRL, press K, then press C

For multiple lines in most editors, just highlight the lines and press Ctrl + /—it works for block commenting too. If you’re using VS Code, that shortcut toggles comments whether it’s one line or many.

A little late, and I suppose it depends on the editor. But for VS Code/fCC editor, the keyboard shortcut for toggle block comment is:

Windows: Shift + Alt + A
Mac: Shift + Option + A
