Hey guys,

Been using Vim/GVim a lot recently and I am loving it!

I recently started using the folding feature. I created a bunch of folds but when I quit GVim and restart it..all the folds are gone!

Is there anyway to store the folds, so the next time I launch the same document, it stays?

Thanks to all the Vim Gurus out there.

Amit

Looking at the vim documentation, it looks like you use the :mkview
and :loadview commands (:mkview before you exit the file, :loadview
once you reopen it). I've never done this, so your mileage may vary.

It can be done. Add this to ~/.vimrc :

set modeline
set fdm=marker

Of course, this presumes, that you want the fold method as marker. There
are other methods.

Another suggestion: You can always include your vim settings as a comment
at the end of your file(s) so that they are preserved always. E.g., for
a (la)tex, I have this line :

% vim:tw=72:et:sw=2:ts=2:fdm=marker

Similarly for a php file you can have

// vim:tw=72:et:sw=2:ts=2:fdm=marker

This route is quite effective and I have set up vim to add these lines
automatically whenever I create a php/tex/c/whatever file I create.

HTH,

Regards,

You asked for it :-)

Here is a snippet of my ~/.vimrc.

"Open a new tab
map <f12> <esc>:tabnew<cr>
set tabpagemax=5

set tw=72 et sw=2 ts=2
set pastetoggle=<f11>
set ruler
set fo+=n " Format numbered lists automagically
syntax on
set modeline

set viminfo='10,\"100,:20,%,n~/.viminfo
au BufReadPost * if line("'\"") > 0|if line("'\"") <= line("$")|exe("norm'\"")|else|exe "norm $"|endif|endif

" Add some skeletal structure
au BufNewFile *.tex 0read ~/.vim/skel.tex
au BufNewFile *.html 0read ~/.vim/skel.html
au BufNewFile *.php 0read ~/.vim/skel.php

Create a directory ~/.vim and put the above files there. I will just
paste the tex and php files for your reference :

skel.tex
\documentclass{article}
%
\usepackage[body={6in,9in}]{geometry}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{pifont}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{comment}
\usepackage{booktabs}
%\usepackage{chemsym}
%\usepackage{setspace}

\voffset-.5in
\hoffset-.5in

\newcommand{\hb}[2]{\mbox{#1$\cdots$#2}}
\newcommand{\Deg}{$^\circ$}
\newcommand{\ml}[2]{\multicolumn{#1}{l}{#2}}
\newcommand{\mr}[2]{\multicolumn{#1}{r}{#2}}
\newcommand{\mc}[2]{\multicolumn{#1}{c}{#2}}


\begin{document}


\end{document}

% vim:tw=72:et:sw=2:ts=2:fdm=marker

skel.php
<?php

// vim: tw=0:nowrap:fdm=marker:
?>

With those lines, whenever you open a new tex/php file, these things get
pasted/inserted. Please add stuff that you might want in addition to
what I have.

Regards,
