kommentary VS tcomment_vim

Indent-blankline to draw indentation guides, nvim-autopairs to automatically complete pairs of brackets and quotes (I didn’t know I couldn’t live without it), nvim-ts-autotag to autocomplete pairs of tags as well, targets.vim to target what is inside or outside the mentioned pairs and vim-surround to manage all those pairs with few keystrokes. Kommentary to comment and uncomment lines of code, nvim-cursorline to help locate where the cursor is and nvim-colorizer because I am cheeky. Vim-abolish is definitely an interesting one. I decided to install it because of its case coercion capabilities, but it can do much more than that.

Here’s an example of a lua plugin with no setup function

The one I use is kommentary.nvim. A) It works, and with embedded code too, but also b) the Lua underneath it is really good. It’s well-commented, tested, and just generally a good resource to learn Lua from (or at least it has been for me.)

A bit unrelated, but I wrote some tests for kommentary that might inspire you to create a test suite for this plugin too.

I'm still using the tpopes plugin, so I don't really know about the Lua versions 😅. But I have heard good things about kommentary

I've been using b3nj5m1n/kommentary . I's uses are similar to vim-comentary . It has option to use only single line comments . This can be used to avoid /* ... */ . You can try that out .

b3nj5m1n/kommentary is one that is relatively small, but big enough to be interesting. It is also *insanely* well documented and the overall code quality seems good to me.

I need a comment plugin that works in normal mode and virtual mode and accepts count. Neither does kommentary and nvim-comment provide counts, therefore I decided to write one for myself.

I can import this function and use it with all my custom keybindings. However, it doesn't custom keybindings I want to use for the Kommentary plugin.

tomtom/tcomment_vim - Does embedded filetypes unlike tpope/vim-commentay

-- a proud tcomment user.

Yeah, you are right but currently, most of them only support commentstring which means only single-line comments. But block comments are sometimes useful too. Also, I was using tcomment before, which IMO is the best commenting plugin for vim/neovim as it supports left-right motion comments which I haven't seen in any Lua plugin as of now. So that's why I decided to write this plugin to honor tcomment and to port all of its features to Lua :)

Plugin 'https://github.com/tomtom/tcomment_vim' Comment out code with this plugin, instead.

That said, I switched to tcomment years ago because it better detected single va multi-line comments for me.

tcomment_vim

Vim-commentary is great, but AFAICT, only supports one commenting style per file type. tcomment.vim supports line, inline, and block styles.
