While writing a comment in .ini files, VS Code gives me the comment ; when what I need is a #. Is there a setting somewhere where I can replace that character?

This is similar issue but not a duplicate of the following post, as I am not editing assembly and the extension provided does not work: How to customize comment character in Visual Studio Code?

The easiest way around this I've found is to associate .ini files with Shell Script instead of Ini - then you can toggle comments using '#'.

Do Ctrl+Shift+P, Change Language Mode, then Configure File Association for '.ini', and select Shell Script.

As noted here, change the language mode to Properties rather than Ini. Look in the status bar to see whether the language is "Ini" (lineComment ;) or "Properties" (lineComment #).

  1. the ; for [ini] and the # for [properties] seems to be just as expected, as the existed answer says
  2. seems that the lineComment char not works properly in some version of vscode ... I tested the v1.84.1 on flatpak and v1.84.2 on windows is fine ~
  3. if still not work, just try the extension ArturoDent.custom-language-syntax
