Behavior of fold when adding new fold

[Yichao Zhou]

Hi, everyone.
  I use fdm=marker.  The problem is when you add a fold, the fold
after it will automatically open.

  For example, type {{{<CR>}}}<ESC>zcggO{{{

  You will find the second fold is opened automatically.  This is
annoying when editing.  Must I reclose all the folding when add a new
one?

Regards,
Yichao Zhou

Have you checked your 'foldlevel' setting?

The tip is to first put closing marker }}} and then the opening one {{{.
You can also use {{{1 (without adding closing marker, the next {{{1 serves as
opening and closing marker)

Best,
Marcin

Unfortunately, "{{{1" has the same problem.

If you usually add open/close folds in the same insert operation, this will help:

If you need to move around a bunch in normal mode before adding the closing marker, it won't help as much.

I realized after I posted, you should also consider using zf to create fold markers rather than going into insert mode, which should prevent this problem altogether.

:help zf

Note that the 'commentstring' option is used to determine what text to place before the created fold markers.

:help fold-create-marker
:help 'commentstring'
