What's the most elegant way of commenting / uncommenting blocks of ruby code in Vim?

Question

In VIM, at the moment when I need to comment out a section of Ruby code:

• I navigate to the first column in the row I want to comment out
• I press CTRL-v t

Answer 1

I do almost the same thing as you.

commenting:

• visual block select with CTRL-V then I# (insert # in the begining)

uncommenting:

• visual block select with CTRL-V then X (delete the first symbol on the line)

Please note uppercase I and X.
