Excerpts from Francis Giannaros's message of Mon Feb 22 01:32:16 +0100 2010: > Hi, > > I would like to propose that a commenting plugin be shipped with Vim > by default. Having tried a few of these, I have found the NERD > Commenter plugin to be the most extensive and widely used, supporting > a horde of programming languages. How does this look like? I don't use comments that often and I don't want Vim to load read lines which are used occasionally only.
It also has a design flaw: a) The NERD commenting plugin file is > 3000 lines of code to be sourced at each startup of Vim. b) You can only add comment style and an alternative one. However there are languages which support 3 comment styles such as PHP: #, /* .. */ and //. This doesn't change the fact that this plugin probably is the best plugin which is available at the moment. Francis: Until the ships with Vim I recommend you having a look at my vim-addon-manager plugin. It makes installing plugins that easy that you can stop worrying about whether a plugin is included in a Vim distribution. So I vote for at least moving most code into an autoload file before distributing it along with Vim. Marc Weber -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
