Repository Details

Vim plugin that sets the value of ‘commentstring’ to a different value depending on the region of the file you are in.

vim-context-commentstring

This is a very simple plugin to automatically set the 'commentstring' and 'comments' Vim options in file types which contain more than one syntax (like JavaScript nested inside HTML, or Lua nested in VimL).

It uses the names of the syntax highlighting groups to know where the cursor is, and just set the value of those Vim settings to one appropriate for that part of the file.

This will make Vim properly use the features, which by default are just fixed values which are set by file type. This allows to use a plugin like Tim Pope’s vim-commentary to toggle the comments, or the native Vim functionality of wrapping text when you are typing a lines of comments.
