The default shortcut for Toggle Line Comment is actually CTRL + / (Windows) or CMD + / (Mac) if you're using a US Keyboard setup. On Non-US Keyboards, the shortcut shown would probably be the default shortcut.

Yup these are useful, even if you're not that new to VSCode. I loved the in-depth part about the command pallette and what it can be used for. I see now that I havent been using it to its potential. Much appreciated

There's another practical way to have multiple selections/cursors: Hold Ctrl+Alt and use arrow buttons.

Thank you for sharing this video! Learning keyboard shortcuts in VSCode has significantly boosted my productivity and workflow speed. While I was familiar with some of the shortcuts demonstrated, this video still proved incredibly helpful, and I'm sure it will benefit many other programmers as well.
