Hi,
a question more driven by curiosity than by the need to change
anything.
Suppose you have the following TeX-text:
bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla
foo bar gnu gnats
bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats
bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla
foo bar gnu gnats
bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats
and because this text is so fullfilled with wisdom and knowledge,
that no one else than you will be able to handle its contents
carefully ;) you decide to comment it out to not to harm the public.
As a vim newbie I would do that using block oriented visual mode on
the first line and I-nserting a '%' (TeX's comment sign), which
results in:
% bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla
% foo bar gnu gnats
% bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats
%
% bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla
% foo bar gnu gnats
%
% bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats
So far so nice...it works.
But would be there a way to acchieve the following commenting:
% bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla
% foo bar gnu gnats
% bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats
% bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats bla blabla
% foo bar gnu gnats
% bla blabla foo bar gnu gnats
(blank lines not commented out) by a similiar simple command like
CTRL-v SHIFT-i <text><ESC> ?
As said: This Q is mostly curiosity - based...I even dont know,
whether haveing such a feature would be really useful or not.
But as always: Experimenting is fun! :O)
Keep editing!
