@backermanbd @OrionRandD I just found vim-commentary. I will probably use that going forward instead of maintaining this. It has better community support, isn't much larger than this, and uses Vim's 'commentstring' option instead of a list of hard coded file types so it automatically works with a lot more languages.

@dave-kennedy I tried vim-commentary. But didn't like it though.
I just wanted voyeg3r & your code to put comment out signs at the first of each line

like this cpp code

// #include <iostream>
// using namespace std;

// int main(){
//     cout << "hello world";
// }
