How to Uncomment Multiple Lines of Code in Visual Studio

I did a ctrl K + ctrl C (adds // to a line) on a lot of lines of code that I need uncommented. What is the quick key method to uncomment code in Visual studio?

Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U removes the // comments

I believe it is Ctrl + K, Ctrl + U.

Ctrl + K, Ctrl + U.

There is also a button for it on the Standard toolbar.

ctrl + / can be used for adding and removing comments.

If you're using Resharper, there is a much nicer alternative:

just right Alt + / for both

By using this single shortcut, you can simply toggle between commenting/uncommenting code, without having to remember/switch between two shortcuts for each.

Try + U or click the little icon on the toolbar.

Qwerty: Ctrl + /

Azerty: Ctrl + :

Ctrl + K + C (to comment) and Ctrl + k + U (to uncomment the code)

Or

or use Ctrl + / (for the same)

Just wanted to add, that in the latest version of VS, ctrl + u makes it caps. They instead made it a toggle command, so it is actually just ctrl + k again to make it uncommented.

I have the german keyboardlayout. VSCode-x64-1.52.1 To leave a comment: You have to highlight the code, then push Ctrl + # or Ctrl+K, stay at Ctrl and push C

to commen out: Ctrl + #, it toggles on/off the comment or Ctrl + K, stay at Ctrl and push U

Mine was a bit different. It is ctrl-shift-C to comment and ctrl-shift-alt-C to uncomment.

I am using Visual Studio Community 2017.

Ctrl + Q alternates between comment and uncomment. Unfortunately Ctrl K Ctrl U does not work in few environments, rather it adds instead of removing. My case on windows, using composer file I faced Ctrl K Ctrl U not working. I m using VS Code, ver 1.36.1

links to all keys short cuts:

In Visual C++ 2019 Ctrl + Shift + / both comments and uncomments.
