Installation

Packer

use {
    'javiorfo/nvim-hemingway',
    requires = 'javiorfo/nvim-popcorn'
}

Lazy

{
    'javiorfo/nvim-hemingway',
    lazy = true,
    dependencies = { 'javiorfo/nvim-popcorn' },
    cmd = { "HemingwayInfo" },
    keys = {
        { "<leader>co", "<Plug>HemingwayComment" },
        { "<leader>co", "<Plug>HemingwayMultiComment", mode = "v" },
    }
}

Usage

• Set mappings in init.lua (Packer)

local opts = { noremap = true, silent = true }

-- Normal mode 
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', '<leader>co', '<Plug>HemingwayComment', opts)
-- Visual mode
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('v', '<leader>co', '<Plug>HemingwayMultiComment<CR>', opts)

• Executing the map corresponding to HemingwayComment with the cursor in a specific line, it will comment the aforementioned line with the corresponding comment string of the file.
• In VISUAL MODE. Executing the map corresponding to HemingwayMultiComment with the cursor in a specific line or multiple lines will comment the aforementioned line (or lines) with the comment string of the file.
• Executing any of these commands in a commented line will uncomment that line (or lines)
• The main strings used for comments are the ones taken from this file. If there is no value for the file you are using, you can set it in your personal Neovim init.lua:

-- Depending on the filetype comment style
require'hemingway'.add_comments{
    myfiletype1 = { single = "** " },
    myfiletype2 = { left = "*|* ", right = " *|*" },
    myfiletype3 = { single = "** ", left = "*|* ", right = " *|*"  },
}

• To see commentary info about the current file, execute command line :HemingwayInfo
