vim-commentary VS vim-go

https://github.com/tpope/vim-commentary does what you expect!

I've replaced most of my custom maps for commenting with tpope's commentary plugin. It's a great plugin. However, I wasn't happy with the lack of multi-line/block comment abilities so I created some maps to compliment the commentary plugin. Here are some maps that can be used with autocmd, FileType and for JavaScript comments.

commentary.vim + :h gq?

Having said this, there are some useful language independent extensions: jiangmiao/auto-pairs, tpope/vim-commentary, preservim/tagbar, junegunn/vim-peekaboo

vim-commentary comment code comfortably with motions and visual selections alike.

With a plugin like vim-commentary or comment.nvim

Commentary Tim pope's comment plugin

Unfortunately, https://github.com/tpope/vim-commentary fails on handlebars and https://github.com/numToStr/Comment.nvim fails on both (or I couldn't figure out 😅).

There are a handful of really good go plugins that take care of this for you, such as https://github.com/ray-x/go.nvim or https://github.com/fatih/vim-go

With vim-go and snippets, neovim has almost the same functionality as GoLand

Neovim with its lsp integration. Yes, my configuration breaks whenever neovim is upgraded (it is < v1 after all). But usually I wait a little while, and then update plugins and I’m good to ‘go’. One very very good plug-in is https://github.com/fatih/vim-go. The wiki page has a suggested vimrc, which works very well to integrate things like identifier highlighting, and references.

At first Ihad struggled with some common "IDE" tasks. But then I discovered vim-go and realized that it could do pretty much everything that I need and even more.

I use vim as an editor, and I think that vim-go (https://github.com/fatih/vim-go) is a huge help, if you use the "gd" shortcut to take you to where a variable, type or function is defined, and the ctrl-T shortcut to take you back. Use goimports (https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports) as the vim-go code formatter. This will keep imports up-to-date. There are some other vim-go features that may be helpful. You can have it highlight syntax errors, for example. Not every feature is helpful to every programmer, however.

Maybe there's a reason why this isn't possible, but if I compare this work-flow with something like https://github.com/fatih/vim-go I can use go-to-definition for everything (whether it be a third-party package or a standard library feature such as fmt.Printf).
