You are on a Mac machine and the keyboard is a bit different than a PC machine. Visual Studio is a PC application that you run on a virtual machine in Parallel Desktops. Some shortcuts that you are so used to in Windows might not work as expected, and this you have already discovered. You are on a Mac machine and the keyboard is a bit different than a PC machine. Visual Studio is a PC application that you run on a virtual machine in Parallel Desktops. Yes you can do that but it is not intuitive, Insert Comment is on the Insert Ribbon, but is not there in the dialog to change the keyboard shortcut...
I cannot find a way to comment and uncomment multiple lines of code in Visual Studio Code.
Is it possible to comment and uncomment multiple lines in Visual Studio Code using some shortcut? If yes, how to do it?

Shift+Alt+A
Here you can find all the keyboard shortcuts.
PS: I prefer Ctrl+Shift+/ for toggling block comments because Ctrl+/ is shortcut for toggling line comments so it's naturally easier to remember. To do so, just click on the settings icon in the bottom left of the screen and click 'Keyboard Shortcuts' and find 'toggle block...'. Then click and enter your desired combination.
