What code folding plugins or methods do you use?

[bassamsaleh]

One of the best videos I've seen. I always had hard time with folds in neovim. Thanks a lot

[iusearchbtw]

I didn't know i need folding before in neovim, now i need one cuz i need to read long php code from my senior and i came accross this video
Anyway thank's for the amazing and simple explanation video without going through much of configuration

[JoshMedeski]

Nice overview of how folds work. I learned some new things!

And I’ve set some custom icons with UFO as virtual text to not clutter up the gutter.

Great video by the way, I knew nothing about folds, and this helped me clear a lot of doubts. Thank you!

[temelgunaydin]

Indent method is good for now. Thanks for all information that you shared.👍

[rkbgkgmjfm]

Code folding is one of those things I never use, but cool to see you cover topics like these

[GrzegorzMilka]

Does folding and unfolding by one level work with nvim-ufo? I don't any mentions of remapping zr/zm.

[arnoeagleeyes]

Hey great video ! Do you happen to know if you can switch it off for certain buffers ? Like Dapui for example ?

[cantucodes]

Great Video! I had no idea there were so many options! Agree that nvim-ufo is 🔥

[alopradocai]

Nice video. I gave up on using folding because every time I would use a formatter, folds would always get disorganized.

Hey thanks, for the video. I had a hard time setting up ufo & understanding how it should be used.
I still have an issue with fold not remaining persistent after quitting nvim. What did I miss?

[vyqTstwSULV]

The video was really helpful. Thank you. Is there any way to save the fold state even after closing the buffer?

[aumhren]

with foldmethod=indent, how to fold all code (ie all class ...) indents at once ? thx for sharing, have fun

[fegyi]

very helpful video, thanks a lot! Just one question - rather irrelevant to this video, sorry for that -, but I really like how your terminal looks with showing the git branch icon and the nodejs version as well. How can one do that?

[Faisal_]

Andew, How can we select or copy whole function and can we jump function to function?! Love your content brother

[AcethPlanetJJ]

Ive installed ufo and its dependency in kickstart, and lazy tells me it installed correctly, but whenever i type "require('ufo')" anywhere and restart the editor i get an error that the ufo module cant be found, i cant find any info on how to resolve this anywhere

[jrohit]

Is it possible to close only 2nd level folds? ... Or nth level folds?

[rkdeshdeepak]

How to enable folds for particular filetype e.g. norg, markdown?

[naranyala_dev]

A small trick, but it can still improve workflow
