That is, how can i add a 1) Go to the first line of the code that you want to comment. 2) Press <esc> to get into command mode rather than insert mode. 3) Press 'v' to begin Visual Select mode. 4) Navigate with the arrow keys or your chosen navigation keys until you've selected all the lines you care about. 5) Type :s/^/# to add a '#' at the beginning of every line. If you wanted to comment C code, you could do :s#^#// to put a '//' at the beginning of every line. Just to be clear, that last substitution command is equivalent to :s/^/\/\/ but is, I think, prettier. If you wanted to instead replace line 1 line 2 line 3 with /* line 1 line 2 line 3 */ I'm not sure how you'd do it. Perhaps others do. -- Stephen R.
