NERD Commenter is a Vim plugin offering powerful and highly customizable commenting capabilities. It simplifies toggling comments, supports multiple styles and nesting, and integrates cleanly with various plugin managers. Several settings can be added to your vimrc to change the default behavior. While the plugin does not directly support motions, you can leverage its support for selections to do something very similar. You can turn off default settings mappings to provide your own from scratch. Comment out the current line or text selected in visual mode.

Features

  • Easy installation via Vim‑Plug, Vundle, NeoBundle, Pathogen, package manager, or manual copy
  • Default key mappings for commenting, toggling, inverting, and formatting lines or regions
  • Support for nested commenting and alternate delimiters per language
  • Options to add spaces after delimiters, trim trailing whitespace, and handle empty lines
  • Fully customizable settings such as g:NERDCreateDefaultMappings, g:NERDSpaceDelims, g:NERDAltDelims_java, and more
  • Licensed under CC0-1.0, making it very permissive and free for modifications
