Comment/Uncomment multiple lines in JupyterNotebook hotkey

Question

I was wondering, if there is a PRO way of commenting/removing multiline # comments in JupyterNotebooks.

# line1
# line2
# line3

Something like SHIFT + " for adding triple quotes.

how about `CTRL + /` , that is, control and forward slash – oreopot May 12 '21 at 13:10 — oreopot, May 12 '21 at 13:10

CTRL+/ for comment and uncomment multiple lines you can press 'h' anywhere in command mode, you can find all the shortcuts of jupyter.

For the big bunch of people that does not use an english keyboard, probably the adequate keys are in other place. In the case of a Spanish Keyboard, I can comment/uncomment lines using "Ctrl + }"

For those with a Portuguese keyboard and Windows operating system, CTRL + ~ comments multiple lines.

`/` this is a forward slash. Also, please do not copy-paste answers from others, which is clearly plagiarism! – Ro.oT Aug 30 '23 at 19:18
