I want to know how to put the /**/ comments through shortcut. I know the Ctrl+K+C shortcut for the // comments but it comments the whole line. Sometimes while debugging, I want to do something like "ref string /* char[] */ lengthValue" while trying something out.
I want to be able to comment a specific part of a line (not the whole line) through a shortcut e.g in "string /* char[] */ lengthValue" i-e comment out only a specific part of a like by shortcut
I am using Visual Studio 2013
Please help

Visual studio comment shortcut key: Accept in HTML, C#, JS, CSS etc in Visual studio.

cI think there is no shortcut key for this purpose in Visual Studio but If you use ReSharper you can use Ctrl + Shift + /.
Have a look at this may be useful as well.
In Visual Studio 2017 RC, simply Select the part of code you want and then press Ctrl + K + C , no need to any extension!
4VS 2019 I did
Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard
Type in Edit.ToggleBlockComment and add a keybinding. I chose shft + ctrl + /
Or you could put comment in the search box of the keyboard section and look at all your comment keybinding shortcut options.
To comment a block of code (more than one line) in VS select code with ALT (alt+mouse or alt+shift+arrows), and then comment with Ctrl+K Ctrl+C. With one line code only you don't need ALT.
So it's basically the same as with // comments, only ALT needs to be pressed while selecting code for more lines than one.
In Visual Studio Code that is called Toggle Block Comments
By default command is Shift + Alt + A
But you can customize as your own in Visual Studio Code. I did it ctrl + shift + /
Hope it might help
Shift + Option + A - figured it out by going to Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and searching "comment"
You can now use Ctrl + Shift + A /* for block comments */
And Ctrl + รน // for line comments
