  1. POCode folding regions in ruby on VIM?
    text
    copied!<p>I know not everyone like code folding, but as a convert to Rails and a convert to VIM, I want one of the conveniences back that I had in Visual Studio.Net. I want to be able to place arbitrary #region #endregion tags and have VIM fold them for me like everything else.</p> <p>I have syntax code folding turned on and normal def..end folding works fine, I just want to augment that with #regions.</p> <p>I did some googling and thought that I could do this in a ruby.vim in my syntaxes folder, but it didn't work, and I don't know enough to debug whether it was bad code that I copied over or if it just "doesn't work that way."</p> <pre><code>let b:match_words = '\s*#\s*region.*$:\s*#\s*endregion' </code></pre> <p>This is my only line in syntax/ruby.vim. In fact, the file wasn't there before I started, even though ruby highlighting is working fine. (which also throws big red flags for me - I haven't a clue where the ruby/rails syntax, unless its in the rails.vim plugin, but I can't find it there either.</p> <p>Can someone lend me a thread so that I can follow it and figure this out? Thanks</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>I found some other code snippets and tried this version instead, which <em>almost</em> gets me there:</p> <pre><code>syn region vimFoldRegion \ start="#region" \ end="#endregion" \ skip=+"\%(\\"\|[^"]\)\{-}\%("\|$\)\|'[^']\{-}'+ \ transparent fold \ keepend extend \ containedin=ALLBUT,@vimNoFold </code></pre> <p>This lets me fold the region, but all of the code inside the region is shown like its a comment. I've tried different variations of the parameters on the syn, but I'm not grokking it.</p>
