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

Try T-comment with Ruby block.

I have T-comment mapped to //.

" Easy commenting
nnoremap // :TComment
vnoremap // :TComment

This allows, from anywhere in a Ruby block, to comment it out with:

var  (visual around Ruby)
//   (toggle comments)

Note that Ruby blocks has a couple of plugin dependencies that need installing, see my Vimfiles for an example.
