Change fold text
I noticed that folds can show useful information. Usually they show something like
+-- 5 lines: <div id="header-inner">--------------------------------------------
Is it possible to change the text in these lines? I noticed that something is possible in foldexpr , but is it possible to completely redo the folds?
eg+ <div id="header-inner"> : "possible comment from line above" : row 27 : length 5
Thank you
There are a few things that I don’t understand from your question, for example, which foldmethod you are using, or what is the number of “lines”, but here we use a special function foldtext, which should do something you want:
function! MyFoldText() let nl = v:foldend - v:foldstart + 1 let comment = substitute(getline(v:foldstart),"^ *","",1) let linetext = substitute(getline(v:foldstart+1),"^ *","",1) let txt = '+ ' . linetext . ' : "' . comment . '" : length ' . nl return txt endfunction set foldtext=MyFoldText() Explanation:
- Find the number of lines contained in the fold.
- Get the “comment” from the line before the first folded line (and remove the leading spaces).
- Get text from the first line of the fold (and remove leading spaces).
- Collect the above information in the returned folding text with the appropriate formatting.
Hope this helps. It should be easily adapted to your needs.
You can also check the bend configuration from the repo page on the Lovs bitbucket vim website .
It has a very beautiful appearance, which is also very organized!
