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 will recommend you an alternative way to comment using by Macro

The first, just put this in to your .vimrc

let @c="I#\ej"
let @u="^xj"

For the example

To comment 12 lines:

1. Navigate to the first row that you want to start your comment.
2. Type 12@c on command mode to comment 12 lines

To uncomment 12 lines:

1. Navigate to the first row that you want to uncomment.
2. Type 12@u on command mode to uncomment 12 lines

The conclusion

Commenting:

[quantifier]@c 

Uncommenting:

[quantifier]@u

note: These commands will start commenting/uncommenting from your current line.

To improve you nevigation number.vim can help you a lot about quantifier number.
