The basic idea of the current behavior is that when the cursor is in the comment then opening a new line adds to the comment. If you want to add code, use "o" on the line above the comment or "O" on the line below the comment. Or just have the command leader added and use CTRL-W to remove it. > By default, in a C++ file, I have: > > :set comments=sO:*\ -,mO:*\ \ ,exO:*/,s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,:// > > I tried adding a "O" before "://".
