commentary.nvim

Neovim plugin to comment out/in a text written in lua. Support comment out a single line, a visual selection and a motion.

Getting started

Requirements

• Neovim 0.5+

Packer

use 'shoukoo/commentary.nvim'

Vim-Plug

Plug 'shoukoo/commentary.nvim'

Setup

Use the default mappings

The default keybindings are the same as in vim-commentary, meaning your can use the following keybindings

• gcc to comment out a single line,
• gc to comment out a visual selection
• gc<motion> to commentout with a motion i.e. gc5j

Disable the default mappings

If you don't like the default mappings, set use_default_mappings to false in init.lua/vimrc

require("commentary").setup({
  use_default_mappings = false 
})

Customise your mappings

You can also bind your own keys. Insert the following lines into your init.lua and replace <your key> with the valid keys.

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("x", "<your key>", "<Plug>commentary", { silent = true })
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<your key>", "<Plug>commentary", { silent = true })
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<your key>", "<Plug>commentary_motion", { silent = true })

Add additional languages

Currently, this plugin only supports a few languages, feel free to create a PR and add them in here. Otherwise, you can also pass them into the setup function like this:

require("commentary").setup({languages= 
  {
    go = {single_line_comment =  "//", multiline_comment = {"/*", "*/"}, prefer_multiline = true}
    typescript = {single_line_comment =  "//", multiline_comment = {"/**", "*/"}, prefer_mutiline = true}
  }
})
