VHDL comments in Vim?

[Peter Sommerfeld]

Hi folks,

I'm getting tired of commenting large blocks of VHDL code by hand.

Anyone know of any Vim scripts that can comment/un-comment a VHDL
block?

A cursory Google search brings up either nothing or way too much stuff
to sift through depending on my search terms ("vhdl vim comment").

From Hamish Moffatt:

"Commenting lines. Visual select the block required and type ,c
vmap ,c :s/^/--/
vmap ,d :s/^--//

Here's the Verilog equivalent:

"Commenting lines. Visual select the block required and type ,c
vmap ,c :s/^/\/\//
vmap ,d :s/^\/\///

Hmmm. These lines had an escape after the last character, but that
won't appear in this post. You could probably substitute '<CR>'
(without the quotes) instead.
Add the lines to the appropriate file type plugin file.

Regards,
Allan.

Try Emacs if you can. It has a very comfortable VHDL electric mode.

If you write -- at the beginning of a line and then press Enter, the
next line will also be commented.

Not to start an emacs vs. vim war, but a properly set-up vhdl plug-in in
vim will do this as well.
