Visual studio shortcut key to add comments to python code - mp3909 - May-17-2020

Hi,

I am using Visual Studio 2019 as my IDE for writing python codes.
I was wondering how an earth do you add comments to a block of code?
I can't see any options in the menu bar.

Thanks!

Basically, when you want a comment, the best way is to think of it as hashtag. You put # on the line of code you want the interpreter to ignore.

What I meant was is there a button in Visual Studio to comment out a block of code in python?

Probably you are doing something wrong. Attached is screenshot from VS Code under Windows, EDIT menu.
As you can see shortcut for Toggle Line Comment is Ctrl + /
and shortcut for Toggle Block Comment is Shift + Alt + A
