DevOps Snack: Keyboard Shortcuts YAML editor

Case
How do I comment out a block of code in the YAML editor of Azure DevOps? Is there a keyboard shortcut to toggle line comments?
Toggle line comments






Solution
Yes you can use the same keyboard shortcut as in Visual Studio:
Comment: CTRL+K, CRTL+C 
Uncomment:  CTRL+K, CRTL+U 

And there is also an easier shortcut to switch between comment and uncomment:
CRLT+/
Press CTRL + / to (un)comment a block of code
