2. Folding techniques:
You can fold a block of code of a long file. The block can be anything like (),{},[]
or may be some code between the lines.
For example:
Suppose this is your code:
#include
.........................
.......
int main(void)
{
----
----
----
for(;;){
-----
-----
}
}
To fold the brackets {} of for loop, keep the cursor at opening bracket of the for loop and then use zfa} command. It will make a fold till the closing of the corresponding bracket. This technique also works form backward.
It means you can keep the cursor at the closing bracket and use command zfa{ .
For closing and opening the folds, move the cursor at the fold and use command za
If you want to fold the codes between particular lines , Use command
:beginning_line,closing_line fold
Give a space between closing line and fold command.You can also use fo instead of fold.
