description

A small plugin to comment, un-comment or toggle one or more lines in both normal and visual mode. ** Usage ** In normal or visual mode:     q to toggle comment     shift-q to force comment     alt-q to force un-comment Also avaible in command mode:     Ct to toggle comment     Cc to force comment     Cu to force un-comment These 3 commands are compatible with range and global (:g) ** Examples ** 'yyqp' : duplicate and comment an uncommented line 'vjq' : when two lines are [1 commented/1 un-commented], switch the state of each line ':g!/toto/Cc' : comment all lines which not contain 'toto' ** Remarks ** - The plugin will check the option "&filetype" and the variable "b:current_syntax" to know how to comment the file. - "echo &filetype" or "echo b:current_syntax" will give you the name of the syntax of the opened file. - Add a new syntax to the script (or change the default behavior) is very very simple (add only one line), so don't hesitate to adapt the script. -  For languages like fortran where the rest of the line should not be disturbed by the comment symbol, don't forget to add a line to "s:comment_in_place".

install details

copy script to ~/.vim/plugin I am not sure but, since instructions in the script are quite simple, I think that this plugin must be compatible with older vim versions.
