Problem with commenting /etc/pacman.conf

[roland-5]

Hi,

I have little strange problem. I use Arch Linux, and there is /etc/pacman.conf where you configure option for Arch package manager.
If I do this with

sudo nvim /etc/pacman.conf

or as root

nvim /etc/pacman.conf

And I do gcc it add at start of line ; , like from

#NoUpgrade   =

to

; #NoUpgrade   =

But if I do this with command

sudoedit /etc/pacman.conf

It commenting and uncommenting without problem.
I even nuked my init.lua config to just

-- load plugin manager first
require('plugins._packer')

To be sure, that nothing from my neovim config interrupt with Comment.nvim, but without success.

By default pacman.conf is detected as dosini filetype and commentstring is set to ;. So you need to change the filetype to conf then you won't face any issues.

Add the following to your neovim config

aucmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.conf set ft=conf

I am going to close as this is not related to this plugin :)

Add the following to your neovim config

aucmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.conf set ft=conf

I very appreciate for your fast answer. It didn't work, but I changed it to

vim.cmd([[
    autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.conf set ft=conf
]])

I'm not sure if it is correct, but it worked flawlessly. Very much love. <3 Thank you!
