How do I preserve folds in VIM when cutting and pasting?
vim
Solution
- You can do the first if you use `:set foldmethod=manual` and then simply highlight the block you want and use zf to fold it.
- I don't think you can do this (at least, not without a script)
Problem
In vim, you can create a fold with zf, so if is %, you can neatly fold a delimited block. is there a way to select some text in visual mode and automatically fold that? I've noticed that if I select a closed fold and use dd to delete it, then go somewhere else and use P to paste it, the fold will disappear and the fold will be expanded. I want to cut the folded stuff and paste it and have it paste with the folds still intact and closed.
