This is somewhat of an extension to the answer when the comment line is too long to fit on a line  above 80 chars or whatever   If the comment is too long and text needs to wrap  it s better to keep it under control  rather than use the editor s text wrap feature   This plugin Rewrap helps do just that https   marketplace visualstudio com items itemName stkb rewrap amp ssr false review-details Install the plugin in VS Code  select the text comment  comment it using one of the right methods described in the answers   Ctrl     is easiest  and then once it s commented  press Alt   Q and this will split the text to multiple lines and also comment it  Found it pretty useful  Hope this helps someone
