    Comment.nvim is a Neovim plugin for toggling line and block comments in code. It uses a language-aware syntax resolver to determine the correct comment characters based on the active buffer's filetype and a text-object commenting engine to apply these changes across specific code regions using motions. The plugin features a hook-based action pipeline that executes user-defined pre and post callbacks around core buffer modification operations. It supports Tree-Sitter syntax detection to handle embedded languages within a single file and allows for the definition of custom comment syntax for un
