Ubuntu Visual Studio Code Toggle Comment no respond
I encountered an issue with toggle comment in visual studio code on Ubuntu. Default hot key was "ctrl+/", it didn't respond when I click on a line of code or highlighted the line of code. I changed the hot key to "ctrl+l" under preference -> Keyboard Shortcuts and it didn't respond too.
I tried to google this but nobody seems to encounter this issue or posted this question.
Is there something else I need to enable to make this work?

Did you try to disable all extensions before using shortcut?

do you mean the keymap extensions? or the extensions under settings like "extensions update", "extensions.ignoreRecommendations" and "emmet.extensionsPath"? Those in settings I left it as default. The ones in keymap extensions were all not installed.

For me, in VSCode has a error with ctrl + } and ctrl + shift + } 'cause is inversly and no show correctly the keys to hit.
You must redirect to Keyboard Shortcuts - Visual Studio Code, and search the shortcut "Comment", and hit:
blockComment: Insert ctrl + } when you hit ctrl + shift + }.
commentLine: Insert ctrl + shift + } when you hit ctrl + }.
The Shortcuts show like this
I hope that help for you.

Installing a 'CMake' extension enabling CMake syntax highlight also enabled the 'Toggle Line Comment' [Ctrl+/] shortcut to work.
(I'm guessing without the specified language VS Code simply does not know which symbol to use to comment out the lines - e.g. '//' or '#' or else).
