I’ve been pushing off learning code folding in vim for a few weeks now. I ended that procrastination and I present to you a short tutorial on code folding in vim.
Code folding in vim from Bryan Liles on Vimeo.
The import things to remember here are to get your settings correct:
"folding settings
set foldmethod=indent "fold based on indent
set foldnestmax=10 "deepest fold is 10 levels
set nofoldenable "dont fold by default
set foldlevel=1 "this is just what i use
Then you can toggle folding with za. You can fold everything with zM and unfold everything with zR. zm and zr can be used to get those folds just right. Always remember the almighty help file at “help :folding” if you get stuck.
Happy hacking
stop showing off… you and your scala code
I was working on some hairy code in VIM, was thinking “I could really go for some code folding here”, and remembered seeing your article in Google Reader. Saved me some yak shaving. Thanks!
It's amusing how pretty much any VIm related post is certain to end with “help :whatever”. Not criticising but rather admiring the built-in help system.
Thanks for the folding info
Great one. Thanks.
Thanks for your tip!
Thanks for the video, very helpful! Your wish has been granted, it helped me.
Thanks this helped out a lot, I no longer have to scroll through a mountain of text to get the peice of code I want
