vim tips and tricks

folding

Use folds to collapse selected blocks. Useful if you've finished a subroutine and want to save window space, or maybe want to fold all blocks of comments.

    select block, then :fold
    zo - open
    zc - close

See :help foldmethod for options, and use :mkview and :loadview to save and restore the current window.
