Search: zR open all folds

How do I automatically fold code based on indentation level?

:set foldmethod=indent

Setting foldmethod=indent tells Vim to create folds based on the indentation level of each line.

zx

The zx command resets and recomputes all folds in the current window based on the current foldmethod.

zf{motion}

Vim supports several fold methods, but manual folding with zf gives you precise control over exactly which lines to collapse.

zj and zk

How it works When working with folded code in Vim, you often want to skip from one fold to another without unfolding anything.

zf / zo / zc / za

Vim's folding system lets you collapse blocks of code into a single line, hiding the details so you can focus on the structure.
