vim creating comment lines

[fauzie]

I have a problem with vim, every time I put a comment line like

// This is a comment

And press Enter

Vim automatically put // on the next line
So it looks like this:

// This is a comment
//

This behavior is quite annoying for me as I have to delete those lines before continuing. I would like to know how to disable it.

It occurs on any language by the way ...

Thanks

I don't know how to disable it (because I like it), but rather than backspacing or leaving insert mode to delete it, you can just press ctrl+u to get rid of it and then go on with your typing..

Good luck.

Thats odd. My vim does not do that. I can see how that would be annoying though.

ilrudie, could you post your ~/.vimrc ??

Thanks

Ctrl-u works ... I think I can live with it ...

Better to live with this... (insert into your ~/.vimrc file):

au FileType * setlocal comments=

my .vimrc is short and sweet:

syn on
