Disable folding (feature request)

[haarts]

You can now modify the folding behaviour. But it'd be nice if there was an option to disable it completely.

[dag]

All you need is:

autocmd FileType fish setlocal nofoldenable

Or just put setlocal nofoldenable in your own ~/.vim/ftplugin/fish.vim.

Closing as wontfix unless you have any objections.

[haarts]

Not at all, if there was a mailing list I would have asked there. Thanks for clearing this up.

[dag]

Oh I don't mind. May I ask why you want to disable folding completely? Just concerned about the cost of calculating the folds? It's probably negligible.

[haarts]

The computation cost don't bother me at all.
I don't regularly use folds as I don't find them entirely useful (opinion, I know).

[dag]

I just realized the defaults in Vim mean the folds will all start out closed. I thought the defaults were to leave all folds open, so you wouldn't notice they're there if you didn't use them. I can see how this would be annoying if you don't want to use folds.

I'll see about making things more clear in the README or something.

[dag]

Personally I think the fact that folds fold text is nice because it can let you focus on other parts or give you an overview of the file, but this is all secondary. The killer feature of folds for me is that they delimit structures so you can navigate them (zj and zk) and operate on them as text objects (vim-textobj-fold).

But I really didn't mean for the default experience with vim-fish to be that every fold is closed. Not sure if I should just document how to disable folds (or how to configure them to start out opened) or instead make folding in vim-fish opt-in. I don't really like either option and would have preferred Vim's defaults to be different, but alas.

[dag]

Gah, it's worse: the folding options are only window-local so there's no straightforward way to set them per buffer or filetype.

[dag]

Scratch that; I had misunderstood the behavior of window-local options.
