    Vim has this functionality built-in. See :help format-comments for details. Basically if you have filetype plugin on in your ~/.vimrc and are using a bracket language (like C, C++, Java, javascript, etc.), you can type /**<cr> and it will expand to:

    /**
 * _

    where _ is the cursor position. When you’re done with the comment block just hit / to end it.
