 Could anyone tell me that weather the similar functionality existed?

Something like this:

  :noremap F2 
Aspacec-r=printf(commentstring,\r)crc-o0$esc-$Jcf$space

I don't know how to map it to Alt-;.

If you're lucky, the filetype plugin did set the
'commentstring' option correctly.

How to comment a line in vim?

[Eric Luo]

I want to comment a new line or comment an existing line at the end of
the current line. In Emacs, I have M-; to do the job.

Could anyone tell me that weather the similar functionality existed?

A line starting with (zero or more whitespace and) a double quote is, in 
a Vim script, a comment.


A comment can also be added after most (but not all) commands by adding 
a double quote and text on the same line. The problem is that some 
commands will regard the double quote and what follows it as part of 
their arguments. In that case you can either move the comment to another 
line, or wrap the command in an :execute statement followed by a bar 
and the comment:


This is a comment
   set nobackup writebackup  Here we set the backup options
   exe ! ls |  here is how to add a comment on the line of an 
external command


See
   :help :quote
   :help :bar
   :help :execute


Best regards,
Tony.

I have no idea what emacs does, and I suspect that there's quite a few folks
who use Vim have no idea, either.

In the vein of give a man a fish, feed him once; teach a man to fish, 
feed him forever:
do a search at http://vim.sf.net/ for comment.  Perhaps one of the 
plugins there will

address your wishes -- I got 84 hits when I just did it.

With about the same amount of keystrokes you could use :
a \t ;
a - for append to end of line then tab then whatever comment  
character you want.  If you record this to a macro you can use @ 
[char] to add the comment char to the end of any line no matter where  
you are in the line.
