Tip: #660 - Comment lines in different filetypes
Created: February 19, 2004 3:53 Complexity: intermediate Author: SmartDen&Firelex Version: 5.7 Karma: 3/4 Imported from: Tip#660
This code snippet is a part of a .vimrc (_vimrc 4 Win) file to set comments in various filetypes. The funtion CommentIt() decides itself, according to the current file's type which variant of comments to use.
IMPORTANT: This function should be called with "autocmd BufEnter * call CommentIt ()" some where after its declaration to be invoked every time the user enters a new buffer.
function CommentIt ()
if &filetype == "vim"
vmap +# :s/^/"/<CR>
vmap -# :s/^"//<CR>
elseif &filetype == "tcl"
vmap +# :s/^/#/<CR>
vmap -# :s/^#//<CR>
elseif &filetype == "c"
vmap +# I/*<Esc>gv<End><Esc>a*/<Esc>
vmap -# I<Esc>2xgv$<Esc>h2x<Esc>
elseif &filetype == "cpp"
vmap +# A<End><CR><Esc>gv:s/^/ *<CR>gvI<Esc>ko<Home>/*<Esc>gvA<Esc>ji */
vmap -# :s/^..//<CR>gvI<Esc>ddgvA<Esc>dd
elseif &filetype == "dosbatch"
vmap +# :s/^/rem /<CR>
vmap -# :s/^rem //<CR>
endif
endfunction
"...
autocmd BufEnter * call CommentIt ()
Comments
Better yet, try [/scripts/script.php?script_id=23 vimscript#23]

you can also put filetyp depending stuff in your local syntax files, e.g. $HOME/vimfiles/after/syntax/tcl.vim (on Windows)

Not {rtp}/after/syntax/, use {rtp}/ftplugin/. This have nothing to do with syntax files.
BTW, I (also) recommand EnhancedCommentify.
