Minor mode that can make all comments temporarily invisible.

In most situations, comments in a program are good. However, exuberant use of comments may make it harder to follow the flow of the actual program. By temporarily making comments invisible, the program will stand out more clearly.

"Invisible" in this context means that the comments will not be visible but they will still take up the same space they did before, so non-comment portions will not move.

Example

Before	After

Install

Install this using the build-in Emacs package manager, e.g. using M-x package-install-from-file RET nocomments-mode.el RET.

Usage

This package provides two minor modes:

• nocomments-mode - Local minor mode that makes all comments in current buffer invisible.
• nocomments-global-mode - Global minor mode that makes all comments in all buffers invisible.

Configuration

For convenience, you can bind a key to toggle the visibility of comment. For example, you can place the following in a suitable init file to make F12 toggle comments:

    (global-set-key (kbd "<f12>") #'nocomments-mode)
