NERD Commenter is a Vim/Neovim plugin that provides powerful commenting functions for many filetypes. It leverages filetype plugins and 'commentstring' to toggle, comment, and uncomment code lines and blocks.

Use cases

  • quickly comment out lines of code in vim
  • toggle comments on a code block
  • uncomment multiple lines in neovim
  • comment code in any filetype with correct syntax
  • add comment shortcuts to my vim setup

When to choose

  • you edit code in Vim or Neovim and want fast, filetype-aware commenting
  • you want a mature, widely used commenting plugin with many mappings and options

When to avoid

  • you use a different editor like VS Code or Emacs
  • you prefer minimal configs and only need occasional manual commenting
