Comment.nvim: Simple and powerful comment plugin for neovim. Supports commentstring, dot repeat, left-right/up-down motions, hooks, and more
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.

nerdcommenter seems to better figure out what comment syntax to use than vim-commentary, but i like vim-commentary more at everything else
That said, I switched to tcomment years ago because it better detected single va multi-line comments for me.

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

How do you turn off the yellow highlighting after your done with the search?
I use https://github.com/romainl/vim-cool to do it automatically
-
How can I make searching for an empty string actually execute :let @/=""
You can try this plugin: https://github.com/romainl/vim-cool
- Good vim keymaps

What is the coolest, unknown(-ish) plugin that you're using that other people could benefit from?
vim-cool Not sure if there's an easier way to do it than having this plugin, but it disables search highlighting when you're done, and enables again when you search again. Makes me not have to use `:noh`
- set nohlsearch when pressing anything except n or N?
-
Call :noh command at InsertEnter autocmd
You may be interested in the vim-cool plugin, which uses InsertEnter and CursorMoved autocmds to automatically disable search highlighting after you're done with the search.
