## What it is
Comment.nvim is a smart and powerful commenting plugin for Neovim written in Lua. It supports treesitter, dot repeat, motions, text-objects, and hooks for toggling line and block comments.

## Use cases
- toggle comments on lines and blocks in neovim
- comment code with motions like gcw or gc2j
- comment using treesitter filetypes without manual commentstring config
- repeat comment toggles with the dot operator
- ignore certain lines when commenting via lua regex

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and want fast, configurable commenting
- you want treesitter-aware commenting with dot repeat and motions

## When to avoid
- you use vanilla Vim or another editor without Lua support
- you only need basic commentstring-based commenting built into Neovim

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: editor, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools
- platform: editor-plugin, windows
- tags: neovim, commenting, treesitter, lua, vim-plugin, linux, macos
