18 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| feature} |
7 | 19 |
20 ============================================================================== | |
21 1. Fold methods *fold-methods* | |
22 | |
23 The folding method can be set with the 'foldmethod' option. | |
24 | |
25 When setting 'foldmethod' to a value other than "manual", all folds are | |
26 deleted and new ones created. Switching to the "manual" method doesn't remove | |
27 the existing folds. This can be used to first define the folds automatically | |
28 and then change them manually. | |
29 | |
30 There are six methods to select folds: | |
31 manual manually define folds | |
32 indent more indent means a higher fold level | |
33 expr specify an expression to define folds | |
34 syntax folds defined by syntax highlighting | |
35 diff folds for unchanged text | |
36 marker folds defined by markers in the text | |
37 | |
38 | |
39 MANUAL *fold-manual* | |
40 | |
41 Use commands to manually define the fold regions. This can also be used by a | |
42 script that parses text to find folds. | |
43 | |
44 The level of a fold is only defined by its nesting. To increase the fold | |
45 level of a fold for a range of lines, define a fold inside it that has the | |
46 same lines. | |
47 | |
48 The manual folds are lost when you abandon the file. To save the folds use | |
49 the |:mkview| command. The view can be restored later with |:loadview|. | |
50 | |
51 | |
52 INDENT *fold-indent* | |
53 | |
54 The folds are automatically defined by the indent of the lines. | |
55 | |
56 The foldlevel is computed from the indent of the line, divided by the | |
57 'shiftwidth' (rounded down). A sequence of lines with the same or higher fold | |
58 level form a fold, with the lines with a higher level forming a nested fold. | |
59 | |
60 The nesting of folds is limited with 'foldnestmax'. | |
61 | |
62 Some lines are ignored and get the fold level of the line above or below it, | |
2826 | 63 whichever is lower. These are empty or white lines and lines starting |
7 | 64 with a character in 'foldignore'. White space is skipped before checking for |
65 characters in 'foldignore'. For C use "#" to ignore preprocessor lines. | |
66 | |
67 When you want to ignore lines in another way, use the 'expr' method. The | |
68 |indent()| function can be used in 'foldexpr' to get the indent of a line. | |
69 | |
70 | |
71 EXPR *fold-expr* | |
72 | |
73 The folds are automatically defined by their foldlevel, like with the "indent" | |
74 method. The value of the 'foldexpr' option is evaluated to get the foldlevel | |
75 of a line. Examples: | |
1255 | 76 This will create a fold for all consecutive lines that start with a tab: > |
7 | 77 :set foldexpr=getline(v:lnum)[0]==\"\\t\" |
78 This will call a function to compute the fold level: > | |
79 :set foldexpr=MyFoldLevel(v:lnum) | |
80 This will make a fold out of paragraphs separated by blank lines: > | |
81 :set foldexpr=getline(v:lnum)=~'^\\s*$'&&getline(v:lnum+1)=~'\\S'?'<1':1 | |
82 this does the same: > | |
83 :set foldexpr=getline(v:lnum-1)=~'^\\s*$'&&getline(v:lnum)=~'\\S'?'>1':1 | |
84 | |
85 Note that backslashes must be used to escape characters that ":set" handles | |
86 differently (space, backslash, double quote, etc., see |option-backslash|). | |
87 | |
88 These are the conditions with which the expression is evaluated: | |
89 - The current buffer and window are set for the line. | |
90 - The variable "v:lnum" is set to the line number. | |
91 - The result is used for the fold level in this way: | |
92 value meaning ~ | |
93 0 the line is not in a fold | |
94 1, 2, .. the line is in a fold with this level | |
95 -1 the fold level is undefined, use the fold level of a | |
96 line before or after this line, whichever is the | |
97 lowest. | |
98 "=" use fold level from the previous line | |
99 "a1", "a2", .. add one, two, .. to the fold level of the previous | |

102 previous line, use the result for the next line |
7 | 103 "<1", "<2", .. a fold with this level ends at this line |
104 ">1", ">2", .. a fold with this level starts at this line | |
105 | |
106 It is not required to mark the start (end) of a fold with ">1" ("<1"), a fold | |
107 will also start (end) when the fold level is higher (lower) than the fold | |
108 level of the previous line. | |
109 | |
110 There must be no side effects from the expression. The text in the buffer, | |
111 cursor position, the search patterns, options etc. must not be changed. | |
818 | 112 You can change and restore them if you are careful. |
7 | 113 |
114 If there is some error in the expression, or the resulting value isn't | |
115 recognized, there is no error message and the fold level will be zero. | |
116 For debugging the 'debug' option can be set to "msg", the error messages will | |
117 be visible then. | |
118 | |
119 Note: Since the expression has to be evaluated for every line, this fold | |
120 method can be very slow! | |
121 | |
122 Try to avoid the "=", "a" and "s" return values, since Vim often has to search | |
123 backwards for a line for which the fold level is defined. This can be slow. | |

136 |
7 | 137 |foldlevel()| can be useful to compute a fold level relative to a previous |
138 fold level. But note that foldlevel() may return -1 if the level is not known | |
139 yet. And it returns the level at the start of the line, while a fold might | |
140 end in that line. | |
141 | |
2152 | 142 It may happened that folds are not updated properly. You can use |zx| or |zX| |
143 to force updating folds. | |
144 | |
7 | 145 |
146 SYNTAX *fold-syntax* | |
147 | |
148 A fold is defined by syntax items that have the "fold" argument. |:syn-fold| | |
149 | |
150 The fold level is defined by nesting folds. The nesting of folds is limited | |
151 with 'foldnestmax'. | |
152 | |
153 Be careful to specify proper syntax syncing. If this is not done right, folds | |
154 may differ from the displayed highlighting. This is especially relevant when | |
155 using patterns that match more than one line. In case of doubt, try using | |
156 brute-force syncing: > | |
157 :syn sync fromstart | |
158 | |
159 | |
160 DIFF *fold-diff* | |
161 | |
162 The folds are automatically defined for text that is not part of a change or | |
163 close to a change. | |
164 | |
165 This method only works properly when the 'diff' option is set for the current | |
166 window and changes are being displayed. Otherwise the whole buffer will be | |
167 one big fold. | |
168 | |
169 The 'diffopt' option can be used to specify the context. That is, the number | |
170 of lines between the fold and a change that are not included in the fold. For | |
171 example, to use a context of 8 lines: > | |
172 :set diffopt=filler,context:8 | |
173 The default context is six lines. | |
174 | |
175 When 'scrollbind' is also set, Vim will attempt to keep the same folds open in | |
176 other diff windows, so that the same text is visible. | |
177 | |
178 | |
179 MARKER *fold-marker* | |
180 | |
181 Markers in the text tell where folds start and end. This allows you to | |
182 precisely specify the folds. This will allow deleting and putting a fold, | |
183 without the risk of including the wrong lines. The 'foldtext' option is | |
184 normally set such that the text before the marker shows up in the folded line. | |
185 This makes it possible to give a name to the fold. | |
186 | |
187 Markers can have a level included, or can use matching pairs. Including a | |
188 level is easier, you don't have to add end markers and avoid problems with | |
189 non-matching marker pairs. Example: > | |
190 /* global variables {{{1 */ | |
191 int varA, varB; | |
192 | |
193 /* functions {{{1 */ | |
194 /* funcA() {{{2 */ | |
195 void funcA() {} | |
196 | |
197 /* funcB() {{{2 */ | |
198 void funcB() {} | |
199 | |
200 A fold starts at a "{{{" marker. The following number specifies the fold | |
201 level. What happens depends on the difference between the current fold level | |
202 and the level given by the marker: | |
203 1. If a marker with the same fold level is encountered, the previous fold | |
204 ends and another fold with the same level starts. | |
205 2. If a marker with a higher fold level is found, a nested fold is started. | |
206 3. if a marker with a lower fold level is found, all folds up to and including | |
207 this level end and a fold with the specified level starts. | |
208 | |
33 | 209 The number indicates the fold level. A zero cannot be used (a marker with |
210 level zero is ignored). You can use "}}}" with a digit to indicate the level | |
211 of the fold that ends. The fold level of the following line will be one less | |
212 than the indicated level. Note that Vim doesn't look back to the level of the | |
213 matching marker (that would take too much time). Example: > | |
7 | 214 |
215 {{{1 | |
216 fold level here is 1 | |
217 {{{3 | |
218 fold level here is 3 | |
219 }}}3 | |
220 fold level here is 2 | |
221 | |
222 You can also use matching pairs of "{{{" and "}}}" markers to define folds. | |
223 Each "{{{" increases the fold level by one, each "}}}" decreases the fold | |
224 level by one. Be careful to keep the markers matching! Example: > | |
225 | |
226 {{{ | |
227 fold level here is 1 | |
228 {{{ | |
229 fold level here is 2 | |
230 }}} | |
231 fold level here is 1 | |
232 | |
233 You can mix using markers with a number and without a number. A useful way of | |
234 doing this is to use numbered markers for large folds, and unnumbered markers | |
235 locally in a function. For example use level one folds for the sections of | |
236 your file like "structure definitions", "local variables" and "functions". | |
237 Use level 2 markers for each definition and function, Use unnumbered markers | |
238 inside functions. When you make changes in a function to split up folds, you | |
239 don't have to renumber the markers. | |
240 | |
241 The markers can be set with the 'foldmarker' option. It is recommended to | |
242 keep this at the default value of "{{{,}}}", so that files can be exchanged | |
243 between Vim users. Only change it when it is required for the file (e.g., it | |
244 contains markers from another folding editor, or the default markers cause | |
245 trouble for the language of the file). | |
246 | |
247 *fold-create-marker* | |
248 "zf" can be used to create a fold defined by markers. Vim will insert the | |
249 markers for you. Vim will append the start and end marker, as specified with | |
250 'foldmarker'. The markers are appended to the end of the line. | |
251 'commentstring' is used if it isn't empty. | |
252 This does not work properly when: | |
253 - The line already contains a marker with a level number. Vim then doesn't | |
254 know what to do. | |
255 - Folds nearby use a level number in their marker which gets in the way. | |
256 - The line is inside a comment, 'commentstring' isn't empty and nested | |
257 comments don't work. For example with C: adding /* {{{ */ inside a comment | |
258 will truncate the existing comment. Either put the marker before or after | |
259 the comment, or add the marker manually. | |
260 Generally it's not a good idea to let Vim create markers when you already have | |
261 markers with a level number. | |
262 | |
263 *fold-delete-marker* | |
264 "zd" can be used to delete a fold defined by markers. Vim will delete the | |
265 markers for you. Vim will search for the start and end markers, as specified | |
266 with 'foldmarker', at the start and end of the fold. When the text around the | |
267 marker matches with 'commentstring', that text is deleted as well. | |
268 This does not work properly when: | |
269 - A line contains more than one marker and one of them specifies a level. | |
270 Only the first one is removed, without checking if this will have the | |
271 desired effect of deleting the fold. | |
272 - The marker contains a level number and is used to start or end several folds | |
273 at the same time. | |
274 | |
275 ============================================================================== | |
276 2. Fold commands *fold-commands* *E490* | |
277 | |
278 All folding commands start with "z". Hint: the "z" looks like a folded piece | |
279 of paper, if you look at it from the side. | |
280 | |
281 | |

320 OPENING AND CLOSING FOLDS ~ | |
321 | |
322 A fold smaller than 'foldminlines' will always be displayed like it was open. | |
323 Therefore the commands below may work differently on small folds. | |
324 | |
325 *zo* | |
326 zo Open one fold under the cursor. When a count is given, that | |
327 many folds deep will be opened. In Visual mode one level of | |
328 folds is opened for all lines in the selected area. | |
329 | |
330 *zO* | |
331 zO Open all folds under the cursor recursively. Folds that don't | |
332 contain the cursor line are unchanged. | |
333 In Visual mode it opens all folds that are in the selected | |
334 area, also those that are only partly selected. | |
335 | |
336 *zc* | |
337 zc Close one fold under the cursor. When a count is given, that | |
338 many folds deep are closed. In Visual mode one level of folds | |
339 is closed for all lines in the selected area. | |
340 'foldenable' will be set. | |
341 | |
342 *zC* | |
343 zC Close all folds under the cursor recursively. Folds that | |
344 don't contain the cursor line are unchanged. | |
345 In Visual mode it closes all folds that are in the selected | |
346 area, also those that are only partly selected. | |
347 'foldenable' will be set. | |
348 | |
349 *za* | |
236 | 350 za When on a closed fold: open it. When folds are nested, you |
7 | 351 may have to use "za" several times. When a count is given, |
352 that many closed folds are opened. | |
353 When on an open fold: close it and set 'foldenable'. This | |
354 will only close one level, since using "za" again will open | |
355 the fold. When a count is given that many folds will be | |
356 closed (that's not the same as repeating "za" that many | |
357 times). | |
358 | |
359 *zA* | |
360 zA When on a closed fold: open it recursively. | |
361 When on an open fold: close it recursively and set | |
362 'foldenable'. | |
363 | |
364 *zv* | |
365 zv View cursor line: Open just enough folds to make the line in | |
366 which the cursor is located not folded. | |
367 | |
368 *zx* | |
369 zx Update folds: Undo manually opened and closed folds: re-apply | |
370 'foldlevel', then do "zv": View cursor line. | |
2152 | 371 Also forces recomputing folds. This is useful when using |
372 'foldexpr' and the buffer is changed in a way that results in | |
373 folds not to be updated properly. | |
7 | 374 |
375 *zX* | |

7 | 381 already zero nothing happens. |
382 'foldenable' will be set. | |
383 | |
384 *zM* | |

393 | |
394 *:foldo* *:foldopen* | |
395 :{range}foldo[pen][!] | |
396 Open folds in {range}. When [!] is added all folds are | |
397 opened. Useful to see all the text in {range}. Without [!] | |
398 one level of folds is opened. | |
399 | |
400 *:foldc* *:foldclose* | |
401 :{range}foldc[lose][!] | |
402 Close folds in {range}. When [!] is added all folds are | |
403 closed. Useful to hide all the text in {range}. Without [!] | |
404 one level of folds is closed. | |
405 | |
406 *zn* | |
407 zn Fold none: reset 'foldenable'. All folds will be open. | |
408 | |
409 *zN* | |
410 zN Fold normal: set 'foldenable'. All folds will be as they | |
411 were before. | |
412 | |
413 *zi* | |
414 zi Invert 'foldenable'. | |

443 EXECUTING COMMANDS ON FOLDS ~ | |
444 | |
445 :[range]foldd[oopen] {cmd} *:foldd* *:folddoopen* | |
446 Execute {cmd} on all lines that are not in a closed fold. | |
447 When [range] is given, only these lines are used. | |
448 Each time {cmd} is executed the cursor is positioned on the | |
449 line it is executed for. | |
450 This works like the ":global" command: First all lines that | |
451 are not in a closed fold are marked. Then the {cmd} is | |
452 executed for all marked lines. Thus when {cmd} changes the | |
453 folds, this has no influence on where it is executed (except | |
454 when lines are deleted, of course). | |
455 Example: > | |
456 :folddoopen s/end/loop_end/ge | |
457 < Note the use of the "e" flag to avoid getting an error message | |
458 where "end" doesn't match. | |
459 | |
460 :[range]folddoc[losed] {cmd} *:folddoc* *:folddoclosed* | |
461 Execute {cmd} on all lines that are in a closed fold. | |
462 Otherwise like ":folddoopen". | |
463 | |
464 ============================================================================== | |
465 3. Fold options *fold-options* | |
466 | |
467 COLORS *fold-colors* | |
468 | |
469 The colors of a closed fold are set with the Folded group |hl-Folded|. The | |
470 colors of the fold column are set with the FoldColumn group |hl-FoldColumn|. | |
471 Example to set the colors: > | |
472 | |
473 :highlight Folded guibg=grey guifg=blue | |
474 :highlight FoldColumn guibg=darkgrey guifg=white | |
475 | |
476 | |
477 FOLDLEVEL *fold-foldlevel* | |
478 | |
479 'foldlevel' is a number option: The higher the more folded regions are open. | |
480 When 'foldlevel' is 0, all folds are closed. | |
42 | 481 When 'foldlevel' is positive, some folds are closed. |
7 | 482 When 'foldlevel' is very high, all folds are open. |
483 'foldlevel' is applied when it is changed. After that manually folds can be | |
484 opened and closed. | |
485 When increased, folds above the new level are opened. No manually opened | |
486 folds will be closed. | |
487 When decreased, folds above the new level are closed. No manually closed | |
488 folds will be opened. | |
489 | |
490 | |
491 FOLDTEXT *fold-foldtext* | |
492 | |
493 'foldtext' is a string option that specifies an expression. This expression | |
494 is evaluated to obtain the text displayed for a closed fold. Example: > | |
495 | |
496 :set foldtext=v:folddashes.substitute(getline(v:foldstart),'/\\*\\\|\\*/\\\|{{{\\d\\=','','g') | |
497 | |
498 This shows the first line of the fold, with "/*", "*/" and "{{{" removed. | |
499 Note the use of backslashes to avoid some characters to be interpreted by the | |
500 ":set" command. It's simpler to define a function and call that: > | |
501 | |
502 :set foldtext=MyFoldText() | |
503 :function MyFoldText() | |
504 : let line = getline(v:foldstart) | |
505 : let sub = substitute(line, '/\*\|\*/\|{{{\d\=', '', 'g') | |
506 : return v:folddashes . sub | |
507 :endfunction | |
508 | |
509 Evaluating 'foldtext' is done in the |sandbox|. The current window is set to | |
510 the window that displays the line. Errors are ignored. | |
511 | |
512 The default value is |foldtext()|. This returns a reasonable text for most | |
513 types of folding. If you don't like it, you can specify your own 'foldtext' | |
514 expression. It can use these special Vim variables: | |
515 v:foldstart line number of first line in the fold | |
516 v:foldend line number of last line in the fold | |
517 v:folddashes a string that contains dashes to represent the | |
518 foldlevel. | |
519 v:foldlevel the foldlevel of the fold | |
520 | |
521 In the result a TAB is replaced with a space and unprintable characters are | |
522 made into printable characters. | |
523 | |
524 The resulting line is truncated to fit in the window, it never wraps. | |
525 When there is room after the text, it is filled with the character specified | |
526 by 'fillchars'. | |
527 | |
528 Note that backslashes need to be used for characters that the ":set" command | |
529 handles differently: Space, backslash and double-quote. |option-backslash| | |
530 | |
531 | |
532 FOLDCOLUMN *fold-foldcolumn* | |
533 | |
534 'foldcolumn' is a number, which sets the width for a column on the side of the | |
535 window to indicate folds. When it is zero, there is no foldcolumn. A normal | |
519 | 536 value is 4 or 5. The minimal useful value is 2, although 1 still provides |
537 some information. The maximum is 12. | |
7 | 538 |
539 An open fold is indicated with a column that has a '-' at the top and '|' | |
540 characters below it. This column stops where the open fold stops. When folds | |
541 nest, the nested fold is one character right of the fold it's contained in. | |
542 | |
543 A closed fold is indicated with a '+'. | |
544 | |
545 Where the fold column is too narrow to display all nested folds, digits are | |
546 shown to indicate the nesting level. | |
547 | |
548 The mouse can also be used to open and close folds by clicking in the | |
549 fold column: | |
550 - Click on a '+' to open the closed fold at this row. | |
551 - Click on any other non-blank character to close the open fold at this row. | |
552 | |
553 | |
554 OTHER OPTIONS | |
555 | |
556 'foldenable' 'fen': Open all folds while not set. | |
557 'foldexpr' 'fde': Expression used for "expr" folding. | |
558 'foldignore' 'fdi': Characters used for "indent" folding. | |
559 'foldmarker' 'fmr': Defined markers used for "marker" folding. | |
560 'foldmethod' 'fdm': Name of the current folding method. | |
561 'foldminlines' 'fml': Minimum number of screen lines for a fold to be | |
562 displayed closed. | |
563 'foldnestmax' 'fdn': Maximum nesting for "indent" and "syntax" folding. | |
564 'foldopen' 'fdo': Which kinds of commands open closed folds. | |
565 'foldclose' 'fcl': When the folds not under the cursor are closed. | |
566 | |
567 ============================================================================== | |
568 4. Behavior of folds *fold-behavior* | |
569 | |
570 When moving the cursor upwards or downwards and when scrolling, the cursor | |
571 will move to the first line of a sequence of folded lines. When the cursor is | |
572 already on a folded line, it moves to the next unfolded line or the next | |
573 closed fold. | |
574 | |
575 While the cursor is on folded lines, the cursor is always displayed in the | |
576 first column. The ruler does show the actual cursor position, but since the | |
577 line is folded, it cannot be displayed there. | |
578 | |
579 Many movement commands handle a sequence of folded lines like an empty line. | |
580 For example, the "w" command stops once in the first column. | |
581 | |
582 When in Insert mode, the cursor line is never folded. That allows you to see | |
583 what you type! | |
584 | |
585 When using an operator, a closed fold is included as a whole. Thus "dl" | |
586 deletes the whole closed fold under the cursor. | |

590 fold. Thus this command: > |
7 | 591 :s/foo/bar/g |
592 when used with the cursor on a closed fold, will replace "foo" with "bar" in | |
593 all lines of the fold. | |
594 This does not happen for |:folddoopen| and |:folddoclosed|. | |
595 | |
596 When editing a buffer that has been edited before, the last used folding | |
597 settings are used again. For manual folding the defined folds are restored. | |
598 For all folding methods the manually opened and closed folds are restored. | |
599 If this buffer has been edited in this window, the values from back then are | |
600 used. Otherwise the values from the window where the buffer was edited last | |
601 are used. | |
