Description Diego Gangl 2024-07-12 19:27:03 UTC

SUMMARY

Kate has an action to toggle commenting using "ctrl+/". In Vim and NeoVim this is done using the "gc" movement.
It would be nice to have this movement in VIMode in kate, since it's muscle memory for many vimmers.

Motions aren't super necessary as long as it also works from visual mode.

This seems like it wouldn't be too much work to implement

Comment 2 Christoph Cullmann 2024-11-02 16:35:46 UTC

If somebody wants to add it, merge requests welcome.

Add "gc" motion for vim to Toggle Comment

Used similar code for toggle comment by pressing shortcut "Ctrl+/"
and mapped it to "gc" in vim visual mode to toggle comment
