My Visual Studio Code comment Python code with ''' instead of using # when I try to comment a block of code with the key combination Ctrl + Shift + a.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.

That’s the traditional way of “commenting out” multiple lines of text.Jed Fox– Jed Fox2016-09-30 22:02:58 +00:00Commented Sep 30, 2016 at 22:02

is there a way to change this setup (Ubuntu 20.04)?
Under Windows environment this work for me :
- select block text

Comments
This has nothing specifically to to with Visual Studio, but a result of the python commenting styles. Generally, single line comments are done with the pound (or hash) symbol:
# This is a comment
In contrast, three quotation marks (either ''' or """) can be used to easily produce multi-line comments.
'''
This is also a comment.
However, this comment crosses multiple lines
'''
or
"""
This is yet another multiline comment
For long comments the quotation marks are much easier than # comments.
"""
Hope this helps.

Technically, that's a multi-line string literal, not a comment. But the Python byte code compiler recognizes literals that are not assigned anywhere and either ignores them sort of like comments (if they're in the middle of the code) or stores them as docstrings (if they're at the top of a module, class, function or method).
I found a solution at KINDA CODE.
- Select the block of code.
- Press Ctrl + K
- Press Ctrl + C
