Enabling commenting actions in .vimrc and .ideavimrc

[jphalip]

If you edit .vimrc or .ideavimrc in IntelliJ then you get some nice syntax highlighting, which means that IntelliJ (or perhaps IdeaVim) recognizes the file type. However, if you try to comment/uncomment code by pressing CMD-/ (on Mac OS) or gc (using the commentary extension), then nothing happens.

Is there a way to enable commenting in those files, or is that perhaps a missing feature?

Maybe reason is that Intellij ides do not have the viml filetype ?
