ruby/vim folding question

[Ara.T.Howard]

any ruby/vim gurus out there know how to fold only these:

modules
classes
methods

based on syntax method folding?

fold level won't cut it here since i might have

module A
module B
module C
module D
class C
def method
end
end
end
end
end
end

??

Not sure I understand the problem.
Folding works for me. I have

set foldmethod=3Dsyntax
set foldnestmax=3D5 " usually 3, but more for this case

No, I don't know.

module A

module C
module D
class C
def method
end
end
end
end
end
end

Good question, though!

Gee, that looks awesome! Might be enough to get me to use folding...

I took a look at that. Quote: "On top of that, they're nested, so
you have to open folds recursively all the time.". Well, there is
zO (zed, capital Oh) and zC. when I first added folding to ruby's
syntax file, (a) it was rather a hack, and (b) I considered that
people might want to fold all sorts of things, particularly long if
while, etc, blocks that weren't relevant, seeing the wood for the
trees.

I don't actually understand how to use your script there...

Of course, nobody would want to open them manually

That makes sense; it just isn't what I want to use folds for
(intra-method inspection). I would like to keep methods small enough to
be easily inspected without requiring internal folds. You can actually
define them with specific markers (#{{{), but that wouldn't work so well
with "flat" (unnested) folds.

I don't actually understand how to use your script there...

It folds on class, module, constant and method definitions (you can change
that easily). It's probably more hackish than the syntax file, but I like it
the way it is It should work standalone, just by adding the script to
vimrc. Then the :R command will set foldmethod=manual and create the folds,
which will be shown if foldenable is set (so zi might be required).

cream for vim allows you to fold any block of lines. cream makes
things easy for the vim newbie, but the full power of vim is just a
keystroke away.
