Question 1

How do I set up Comment.nvim to work with JSX files?

Accepted Answer

Use the pre_hook to integrate nvim-ts-context-commentstring, as the plugin lacks native JSX/TSX support. This requires installing both plugins and adding a Lua hook in your setup.

Question 2

Comment.nvim vs kommentary: which is better for Neovim?

Accepted Answer

Comment.nvim offers more features like treesitter integration and hooks, making it more powerful for complex use cases. However, kommentary is simpler and might suffice for basic commenting needs without extra setup.

Question 3

Why are my Comment.nvim keybindings not working in Neovim?

Accepted Answer

This is a common issue; check if other plugins are overriding mappings. The README links to a GitHub comment with troubleshooting steps, often involving adjusting setup order or disabling conflicting mappings.

Question 4

How to ignore empty lines when commenting code?

Accepted Answer

Use the ignore option in setup with a Lua regex like '^$' to skip empty lines during comment operations. This only works for linewise comments, as block comments ignore lines by design.

Question 5

Can I use Comment.nvim with lazy.nvim for plugin management?

Accepted Answer

Yes, install it via lazy.nvim by adding the repo to your config with opts for customization. The README provides a code snippet for seamless integration.

Question 6

How to add custom behavior after commenting a block?

Accepted Answer

Implement a post_hook function in setup that receives a context argument. This allows actions like moving the cursor or formatting, as shown in examples for niche use cases.
