 Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2008 2:43 am Post subject: Navigating search matches past folds |
 |
|
I am using vim 7.x, console version, running over Linux.
I am making good use of folds to ignore unimportant data. If I search
for /pattern/ in a file with folds, the search itself leaves the folds
closed. But as I navigate the matches with "n", a fold will open
automatically if the next match is inside. In my present task, I
really want to ignore the data inside folds completely. Is there some
way to do either of the following?
1) tell / to match only in unfolded lines.
or
2) tell "n" to skip over folds?
Thanks for your help.

Good question. All I know is that there is a tip on this:

If you get it working, please reply with the good news for my
interest.

Live and learn ... thanks. I guess I'll have to update the tip.
With the above, search stops once per fold (if the search target
occurs one or more times in the fold). The fold is not opened. That
works rather well.
