+==============================================================================
+3. Commenting *commenting*
+
+Nvim supports commenting and uncommenting of lines based on 'commentstring'.
+
+Acting on a single line behaves as follows:
+- If the line matches 'commentstring', the comment markers are removed (e.g.
+ `/*foo*/` is transformed to `foo`).
+- Otherwise the comment markers are added to the current line (e.g. `foo` is
+ transformed to `/*foo*/`). Blank lines are ignored.
+
+Acting on multiple lines behaves as follows:
+- If each affected non-blank line matches 'commentstring', then all comment
+ markers are removed.
+- Otherwise all affected lines are converted to comments; blank lines are
+ transformed to empty comments (e.g. `/**/`). Comment markers are aligned to
+ the least indented line.
+
+If the filetype of the buffer is associated with a language for which a
+|treesitter| parser is installed, then |vim.filetype.get_option()| is called
+to look up the value of 'commentstring' corresponding to the cursor position.
+(This can be different from the buffer's 'commentstring' in case of
+|treesitter-language-injections|.)
+
+ *gc-default*
+gc{motion} Comment or uncomment lines covered by {motion}.
+
+ *gcc-default*
+gcc Comment or uncomment [count] lines starting at cursor.
+
+ *v_gc-default*
+{Visual}gc Comment or uncomment the selected line(s).
+
+ *o_gc-default*
+gc Text object for the largest contiguous block of
+ non-blank commented lines around the cursor (e.g.
+ `gcgc` uncomments a comment block; `dgc` deletes it).
+ Works only in Operator-pending mode.
