title: Prevent Vim from starting line with pound sign "#"?
body: <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>
