I am trying Visual Studio Code lately and i've noticed that when i try to add a line comment in an HTML file (using Ctrl+/ or Ctrl+K Ctrl+C) instead of this: <!-- -->
, i get this {# #}
.
In JS or CSS files the key bindings work just fine and produce the expected result.
So how can i get the proper type of comments in HTML files?
Finally i found what the problem was. I had installed the twig plugin (for the Twig php template engine) and that was causing the comments issue.
I've just installing VSCode 1.1.1 and try to put a comment in an new html file
To do so, your new file must be,first, save in .html format and after that, you can use CTRL-K CTRL-C to put a comment and it works.
Hope that help you
If you don't want to disable/uninstall any plugin, you can create a snippet to put a comment. For example, I create a snippet that add HTML comments in a PHP file:
"comment HTML": {
"prefix": "chtml",
"body": ["<!-- $1 -->"],
"description": "Comment HTML line"
}
You can insert that right after the comment in File > Preferences > User Snippets > {YourExtension}
Then, when you start typing 'chtml' in that kind of files, IntelliSense will prompt that snippet.
Maybe this is a workarround, but it works excellent for me. Hope it helps!

For me, it was the (Djaneiro) extension, it made the html files default to django template, so it caused the comments to be wrong in HTML (when pressing ctrl + / )
(commenting them with {% comment %})
Click (Ctrl + K C) to comment the html.
Click (Ctrl + K U) to uncomment html.
For me, the offending extension was Nunjucks (the templating language plugin assumes every .html file is a nunjucks html template)
Try uninstalling any python extension packs you may have installed! You can then reinstall the python extension you need individually.
Chances are one of the extensions in the bundle of that extension pack is causing the issue
In your Visual Studio Code windows, go to File->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcut
This will open two files beside each other like in the screenshot below:
here you can change or create your own shortcuts.
Like I just replaced Ctrl+KU to Ctrl+/
Hope this will work for you !!
If you are running Visual Studio Code in Mac. Then first press Cmd + k
, Cmd + c
immediately after that.
