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
