Prevent Vim from starting line with pound sign "#"?
<p>I like to create a lot of text (.txt) files using Vim that contain instructions on how to do things.  For example, </p>

<pre><code># Check Nginx status
sudo service nginx status
</code></pre>

<p>However, when I write these lines with Vim, when I hit return after typing in a comment line, one that starts with a "#" sign, Vim automatically inserts a "#" sign at the start of the next line and I'll have to backspace twice to get rid of it.</p>

<pre><code># Check Nginx status &lt;return&gt;
#
</code></pre>

<p>Is there some setting that will prevent this from happening?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
