Wrapping comments in Neovim messed up by parentheses
Problem
Wrapping comments in Neovim gets messed up in the presence of parentheses. This happens
with both auto wrapping and manual wrapping (gw).
MWE
This is what happens in a Python file (file.py):
# This is a test python comment with parentheses near the line break (this is
# content
# within
# the
# parens)
# you see what I mean?
Tried
I tried :set nocindent but that didn't
have any effect.
Putting vim.opt.cindent = false in my config didn't work either.
Wrapping the same statement works fine in a .txt:
This is a test python comment with parentheses near the line break (this is
content within the parens) you see what I mean?
Want
Want auto wrapping and gw to produce:
# This is a test python comment with parentheses near the line break (this is
# content within the parens) you see what I mean?
Configuration
Using LunarVim with the following relevant settings in my config.lua:
vim.opt.tw = 80
vim.opt.wrap = true
System
Fedora 40
Neovim v0.10.1
