Put your cursor on the first # character, press CtrlV
(or CtrlQ for gVim), and go down until the last commented line and press x
, that will delete all the # characters vertically.
For commenting a block of text is almost the same:
First, go to the first line you want to comment, press CtrlV
. This will put the editor in the VISUAL BLOCK mode.
Then using the arrow key and select until the last line
Now press ShiftI
, which will put the editor in INSERT mode and then press #
. This will add a hash to the first line.
Then press Esc
(give it a second), and it will insert a # character on all other selected lines.
