Visio Studio Code is great for working with Python scripts. A quick way to comment out lines of instructions is to use Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow.

Before:

print(“line1”)

print(“line2”)

print(“line3”)

Place cursor at beginning of the first line, in this case the line with “print(“line1″)”. Next press Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow and release when the last line is reached i.e. “print(“line3″)”. Type the “#” character and all lines will be commented out.

After:

#print(“line1”)

#print(“line2”)

#print(“line3”)

Similarly, to remove the “#” symbol use the same method to select the lines but select delete key to remove the hash character (in Python this will change the print statements back to code again).
