# commentary.vim
|
|
|
|
Comment stuff out. Use `gcc` to comment out a line (takes a count),
|
|
`gc` to comment out the target of a motion (for example, `gcap` to
|
|
comment out a paragraph), `gc` in visual mode to comment out the selection,
|
|
and `gc` in operator pending mode to target a comment. You can also use
|
|
it as a command, either with a range like `:7,17Commentary`, or as part of a
|
|
`:global` invocation like with `:g/TODO/Commentary`. That's it.
|
|
|
|
I wrote this because 5 years after Vim added support for mapping an
|
|
operator, I still couldn't find a commenting plugin that leveraged that
|
|
feature (I overlooked
|
|
[tcomment.vim](https://github.com/tomtom/tcomment_vim)). Striving for
|
|
minimalism, it weighs in at under 100 lines of code.
|
|
|
|
Oh, and it uncomments, too. The above maps actually toggle, and `gcgc`
|
|
uncomments a set of adjacent commented lines.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend
|
|
installing [pathogen.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), and
|
|
then simply copy and paste:
|
|
|
|
cd ~/.vim/bundle
|
|
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-commentary.git
|
|
|
|
Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with
|
|
`:help commentary`.

> My favorite file type isn't supported!
|
|
|
|
Relax! You just have to adjust `'commentstring'`:
|
|
|
|
autocmd FileType apache set commentstring=#\ %s
