You don't need to apologies for bothering us. If we didn't enjoy helping
people with Vim, we wouldn't be on this mailing list. It's also clear
that you've put in some effort yourself into solving your problems, and
aren't just using us as a first response. Anyone with that kind of
attitude will be warmly welcomed here, and have their questions gladly
received (and if they're not answered, it's probably because we don't
know the answer...).
Thanks a lot for your kind comments.
I second Ben's comments -- the list is a friendly place,
especially towards those who ask nicely and invest the time in
trying to learn. It's fun to try and answer these questions.
And even after you have a workable solution, some of us nuts like
to continue to try other solutions. See below:
So here is an implementation I am minimally satisfied with
(can be improved, but for the time being I am happy with it).
It would have been impossible without your help.
For a straight Ex solution, you should be able to use:
:+?^\%(\s*\n.\zs\)\|\%^?;/\%$\|\n\s*$/s/^/#
where the "s/^/#" at the end is the commentifying action. From
all my testing (with blank-but-non-empty lines, at the beginning
and end of the file, with the cursor between paragraphs, etc.
The only odd edge-case I found was if the first line of your file
was blank and the cursor was on it when you executed it (it ends
up commenting the *last* paragraph of the file, but it's a
somewhat undefined action in such a case).
