Hi,

When I use vim (how can I add comments for several lines at the same time, not one by one)
add #

are there some trick? (without using some package:http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1528* )


Thanks ahead,

I set a mark "a" at the first row that I want to comment, then move the

How did you set a mark "a"?

sometimes some row at the beginning you might not plan to comment, it's not some pre-thought, it might need comment during the testing procedure,


Thanks,

cursor to the last row I want commented and type:



:'a,.s/^/# /g



This assumes you want the comment the entire line.

You can do something similar in visual mode as well, I don't rememberexactly how though.

There's probably a more efficient way to do this, but I always go to the
start of the first/last line, press Ctrl-v (enters visual block mode),
mark the lines I want to comment, then press 'I', make my changes and
then exit visual mode again by pressing Esc
