A Neovim plugin that creates language-aware comment frames using Tree-sitter for automatic syntax detection.
nvim-comment-frame is a Neovim plugin that generates decorative comment blocks in code files. It automatically detects the programming language using Tree-sitter and creates properly formatted comment frames with customizable borders and indentation. This helps developers visually separate code sections and improve documentation readability.
Neovim users who write code in multiple languages and want to enhance their commenting style with automated, language-aware formatting.
It eliminates manual effort in creating consistent comment blocks across different file types, with intelligent syntax detection and flexible configuration options for personalized workflows.

Uses Tree-sitter to automatically identify file types and apply correct comment syntax, as demonstrated in the README with examples for JavaScript, Bash, and Lua.
Respects current line indentation and tab/space settings via the auto_indent option, ensuring comment frames align properly within code blocks, as explained in the auto indent section.
Allows per-language configuration of frame width, fill characters, and start/end strings, detailed in the setup examples for languages like Lua with star-filled borders.
Provides default keybindings (<leader>cf and <leader>cm) and easy customization through the setup function, supporting both single and multiline comments as shown in the keymaps section.
Relies on nvim-treesitter for language detection; if Tree-sitter is missing or fails, the plugin may not work correctly, requiring manual configuration or additional setup.
Primarily designed for creating decorative comment frames, not for general commenting or inline documentation, which limits its utility for broader documentation needs beyond visual separation.
While customizable, setting up language-specific configurations can be tedious, especially for multi-language projects, as each language requires individual adjustments in the setup, as noted in the configuration examples.
