James P. Harvey 25c2920fe8 Update documentation for 11 year old NERDCommenter[A-Z] style (#377)
11 years ago, b54d3bb renamed NERDCom[A-Z] mappings to <plug>NERDCommenter[A-Z] mappings.  But, the docs were never updated.  When README.md was later created, it kept the old NERDCom[A-Z] names.

Split tag NERDComAlignedComment and use new form NERDCommenterAlign{Left,Both}

Update other help tags from NERDCom[A-Z] pattern to NERDCommenter[A-Z]

(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($docsuri, $ExecutionContext.SessionState.Path.GetUnresolvedProviderPathFromPSPath("~\vimfiles\doc\NERD_commenter.txt"))
```
### Post Installation
Make sure that you have filetype plugins enabled, as the plugin makes use of **|commentstring|** where possible (which is usually set in a filetype plugin). See **|filetype-plugin-on|** for details, but the short version is make sure this line appears in your vimrc:
```sh
filetype plugin on
```
## Usage
### Documentation
Please see the vim help system for full documentation of all options: `:help nerdcommenter`
### Settings
Several settings can be added to your vimrc to change the default behavior. Some examples:
```vim
" Add spaces after comment delimiters by default
let g:NERDSpaceDelims = 1
" Use compact syntax for prettified multi-line comments
let g:NERDCompactSexyComs = 1
" Align line-wise comment delimiters flush left instead of following code indentation
let g:NERDDefaultAlign = 'left'
" Set a language to use its alternate delimiters by default
let g:NERDAltDelims_java = 1
" Add your own custom formats or override the defaults
let g:NERDCustomDelimiters = { 'c': { 'left': '/**','right': '*/' } }
" Allow commenting and inverting empty lines (useful when commenting a region)
let g:NERDCommentEmptyLines = 1
" Enable trimming of trailing whitespace when uncommenting
let g:NERDTrimTrailingWhitespace = 1
" Enable NERDCommenterToggle to check all selected lines is commented or not
let g:NERDToggleCheckAllLines = 1
```
### Default mappings
The following key mappings are provided by default (there is also a menu provided that contains menu items corresponding to all the below mappings):
Most of the following mappings are for normal/visual mode only. The **|NERDCommenterInsert|** mapping is for insert mode only.
* `[count]<leader>cc` **|NERDCommenterComment|**
Comment out the current line or text selected in visual mode.
* `[count]<leader>cn` **|NERDCommenterNested|**
Same as <leader>cc but forces nesting.
* `[count]<leader>c<space>` **|NERDCommenterToggle|**
Toggles the comment state of the selected line(s). If the topmost selected line is commented, all selected lines are uncommented and vice versa.
* `[count]<leader>cm` **|NERDCommenterMinimal|**
Comments the given lines using only one set of multipart delimiters.
* `[count]<leader>ci` **|NERDCommenterInvert|**
Toggles the comment state of the selected line(s) individually.
* `[count]<leader>cs` **|NERDCommenterSexy|**
Comments out the selected lines with a pretty block formatted layout.
* `[count]<leader>cy` **|NERDCommenterYank|**
Same as <leader>cc except that the commented line(s) are yanked first.
* `<leader>c$` **|NERDCommenterToEOL|**
Comments the current line from the cursor to the end of line.
* `<leader>cA` **|NERDCommenterAppend|**
Adds comment delimiters to the end of line and goes into insert mode between them.
* **|NERDCommenterInsert|**
Adds comment delimiters at the current cursor position and inserts between. Disabled by default.
* `<leader>ca` **|NERDCommenterAltDelims|**
Switches to the alternative set of delimiters.
* `[count]<leader>cl` **|NERDCommenterAlignLeft**
`[count]<leader>cb` **|NERDCommenterAlignBoth**
Same as **|NERDCommenterComment|** except that the delimiters are aligned down the left side (`<leader>cl`) or both sides (`<leader>cb`).
* `[count]<leader>cu` **|NERDCommenterUncomment|**
Uncomments the selected line(s).
