Xemacs has a hide all function which can make all the function in your C file a fold and close them. And here is something small to achieve similiar under Vim. func! HideAll() syn region myFold start="{" end="}" transparent fold syn sync fromstart set foldnestmax=1 set foldmethod=syntax endfunc amenu Whatever.Hide\ all :call HideAll()<CR>

<<Scroll using arrow keys like browser: map shift-up and shift-down | "Hide" Folding Markers >>

It works fine in version 6.0. But in version 6.1, it is really ugly. Suppose, you have the following Java public class Hello {

I accidently cancel last note. Sorry about this. Suppose, you have the following java file: public class Hello { public void setter() { // do something ... } } In 6.0, you will the indivisual method name (i.e., you will see the Hello and setter. So you can unfold the level you want. But in 6.1, you only see only big level that is the Hello. If you want to the method name -- setter, you have to unfold the Hello first. This is really inconvenient. I am not sure this is a "new feature" or simply a bad bug.

No they both work for me. I hav 6.0 and 6.1 running side by side and doing exactly the same thing. Maybe you forgot :set foldnestmax=2 ???

Yes, it works fine after I set the foldnestmax=2. Thanks a lot.

That's really neat. Now how do I get it to automatically apply to any .c .C .cc .cpp file I open? And is doing that a good idea?
