Can I make the commands even simpler?

[Jaymon]

I think this Stack Overflow answer might have a technique for me to make my commands even easier to do

Specifically this part:

If the comments are indented as in the OP's question, then you can anchor your deletion like this:
:norm ^x
which means "go to the first non-space character, then delete one character".

And...

Commenting with #:

1. visually select the text rows (using V as usual)
2. :norm i#
   This inserts "#" at the start of each line. Note that when you type : the range will be filled in, so it will really look like :'<,'>norm i#
