nvim-comment VS kommentary

(Neo)vim supports plugins, which make your code editor much better. You need a faster way to comment stuff? Sure, here is nvim-comment. Now you need a better tool to surround text by certain characters? Alright, we also have nvim-surround. And this goes on for almost everything you ever needed. And in the rare case that you can't find a plugin for what you need: Write it yourself! It's very easy to write plugins, as vim and neovim both have a lot of functions that help with writing those.

this is intended behavior by nvim-comment

nvim-comment - comment control

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 do that exact use case here: https://github.com/terrortylor/nvim-comment/blob/main/tests/comment_spec.lua

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.
