vim plugin for easy commenting
Sometimes, when working with Python, I miss /* C-style comments */.
Especially when temporary commenting-out large blocks of code -
inserting # in the beginning of each line isn't much better
than typing if False at the top and identing each line.
TComment plugin helps in this cases!
Imagine that you have a code like this:
# Python 3: Fibonacci series up to n
def fib(n):
a, b = 0, 1
while a < n:
print(a, end=' ')
a, b = b, a+b
print()
fib(1000)
Have a cursor on the while word and want to comment-out the whole its block.
Maybe you could add them like this: I# <Esc>j.j. and remove like this ^xxj^xxj^xx with two and four keypresses per line, respectively.
But if you install a TComment plugin - you can just select these lines in visual mode and press gc, like this: Vjjgc.
With only one keypress per line, and result looks like this:
# Python 3: Fibonacci series up to n
def fib(n):
a, b = 0, 1
# while a < n:
# print(a, end=' ')
# a, b = b, a+b
print()
fib(1000)
It can uncomment lines, too!
