:TComment works like a toggle, i.e., it will comment out text that contains uncommented lines, and it will uncomment already commented text (i.e. text that contains no uncommented lines).

If the file-type is properly defined, :TComment will figure out which comment string to use based on the values of &commentstring or &comments. For some filetypes, the comment definition is explicitly defined. You can |tcomment#DefineType()| to add your own definitions.

TComment knows how to deal with embedded code of a different filetype than the main filetype, e.g., ruby/python/perl regions in vim scripts, HTML or JavaScript in php code etc.

As operator (the prefix can be customized via g:tcommentMapLeaderOp1 and g:tcommentMapLeaderOp2):

gc{motion}   :: Toggle comments (for small comments within one line 
                the &filetype_inline style will be used, if 
                defined)
gcc          :: Toggle comment for the current line
gC{motion}   :: Comment region
gCc          :: Comment the current line

Primary key maps:

<c-_><c-_>   :: :TComment
<c-_><space> :: :TComment <QUERY COMMENT-BEGIN ?COMMENT-END>
<c-_>b       :: :TCommentBlock
<c-_>a       :: :TCommentAs <QUERY COMMENT TYPE>
<c-_>n       :: :TCommentAs &filetype <QUERY COUNT>
<c-_>s       :: :TCommentAs &filetype_<QUERY COMMENT SUBTYPE>
<c-_>i       :: :TCommentInline
<c-_>r       :: :TCommentRight
<c-_>p       :: Comment the current inner paragraph

There is also a secondary set of key maps with <Leader>_ as leader (more preferable on terminals).
