in reply to comment sections

Get yourself a good editor! Here's how you would comment out the current line, and the 65 lines following it in vi:
:.,+65s/^/#/

13 characters, including the trailing return.

Re^2: comment sections (vim visual selection)

    In vim, you can also use visual selection mode to specify the area to be affected before you issue an ex command. Together with the { and } keys for paragraph-oriented navigation I find this very handy. You could go one better and keymap the respective :s sequences, though I haven't bothered to.
