Demo

demo-comment.mp4

Features

  • Commenting in Normal mode respects v:count and is dot-repeatable.
  • Comment structure is inferred from 'commentstring'.
  • Handles both tab and space indenting (but not when they are mixed).
  • Allows custom hooks before and after successful commenting.

Installation

There are two branches to install from:

  • main (default, recommended) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).
  • stable will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in main branch.

Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):

Branch Code snippet
Main use 'echasnovski/mini.nvim'
Stable use { 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', branch = 'stable' }
Branch Code snippet
Main Plug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim'
Stable Plug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', { 'branch': 'stable' }

Important: don't forget to call require('mini.comment').setup() to enable its functionality.

Note: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like error: unable to create file <some file name>: Filename too long). Try doing one of the following:

  • Enable corresponding git global config value: git config --system core.longpaths true. Then try to reinstall.
  • Install plugin in other place with shorter path.

Default config

-- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically.
{
  -- Module mappings. Use `''` (empty string) to disable one.
  mappings = {
    -- Toggle comment (like `gcip` - comment inner paragraph) for both
    -- Normal and Visual modes
    comment = 'gc',

    -- Toggle comment on current line
    comment_line = 'gcc',

    -- Define 'comment' textobject (like `dgc` - delete whole comment block)
    textobject = 'gc',
  },
  -- Hook functions to be executed at certain stage of commenting
  hooks = {
    -- Before successful commenting. Does nothing by default.
    pre = function() end,
    -- After successful commenting. Does nothing by default.
    post = function() end,
  },
}
