suggestion regarding comments

[poonampawar377]

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to suggest a feature enhancement for Visual Studio Code that I believe would improve productivity and streamline the coding experience.

Feature Request:
A dedicated command or shortcut to delete all comments (both single-line // and multi-line /* */) in the active code file with a single click or keyboard shortcut.

Use Case:
During debugging, refactoring, or preparing code for production, developers often need to remove all comments. Currently, this must be done manually or through complex regular expressions. A built-in command would greatly simplify this process and save time.

Suggested Implementation:

A command like Delete All Comments in the Command Palette.

Optional keyboard shortcut (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C) that users can customize.

Should work across all languages supported by VS Code.

Thank you for continually improving VS Code and for considering community feedback.

Warm regards,
Poonam Pawar

There are already multiple extensions that do that.
e.g https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=plibither8.remove-comments
Note I haven't tested these..
