Toggle line comment does not work

Hi

I am having trouble interacting with the coursera lab environment.
It all the labs but for instance https://www.coursera.org/learn/source-systems-data-ingestion-and-pipelines/ungradedLab/j5xfR/practice-lab-2-implementing-monitoring-with-amazon-cloudwatch

In particular I can not get the “toggle line comment” in vs code to work.
Manually I can uncomment 100 lines of code, but it is cumbersome. I wanted to mark the lines and then do something like
ctrl + / as suggested in the instructions.
I then tried ctrl +shift +P and found the “toggle line comment” command in the dropdown. Nothing happened.

I tested the ctrl + shift + P works in a locally installed version of VS-code. There the keyboard shortcut is ctrl + ’ (danish keyboard).

ctrl + shift + P and then choosing a different command like “add cursor below” works fine in the coursera environment.
I have also tried to add a different keyboard shortcut, but to no avail.

My current workaround is to mark the lines starting one line above the section and ending one line before the last line that has to be uncommented, alt+ shift + I, move one step right and edit the beginning of all the lines.

It works, but I would like to just be able to uncomment and comment as it is a bit safer.

Hello @kaekae,

Thanks for sharing, I used shift+alt+I to select the block and it worked pretty well. Very helpful
