Inline comments (e.g., gcw) in Python #234
Description
Hi,
I just discovered the plugin and getting up to speed. I've seen that with some languages, the plugin is smart enough to comment out an argument in a function call:
-- from this
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>e', vim.diagnostic.open_float, opts)
-- to this
vim.keymap.set('n',--[[ '<space>e' ]], vim.diagnostic.open_float, opts)In Python, however, the plugin doesn't return a valid syntax if we comment out an argument.
# from this
def my_function(a, b):
return b
# to this
def my_function( #a, b):
return bI would have expected it to return something like this...
def my_function(b): #a):
return bI'm assuming this is because Python doesn't have inline comments, but I was wondering if there was a way to achieve something similar to what I described. It would be particularly useful when refactoring code.

Yes, this is expected because python doesn't have block commentstring. And I am not sure, how is this achievable? Maybe using treesitter? But that being said, this is certainly out of scope for the plugin to support this OOTB.

I thought this could have been possible by leveraging treesitter. I'm not super familiar with what treesitter exposes and how comment.nvim interfaces with it. Perhaps I can look into that and resume the discussion later on. Thank you for now!
