I would like to open all folds in a buffer recursively apart from folds which contain just text and no further folds.
I know that zO opens all folds in a buffer but as explained this is different from what I would like to achieve. Furthermore it will also not help to set a specific fold level because the depth in the fold hierarchy is very different.
Is there a way to achieve what I want?
Try this:
zM
:folddoclosed if foldlevel('.') < foldlevel(line('.')+1) | exe 'norm! zo' | endif
Close all folds. Then, iterating over all lines in closed folds, check if the subsequent line has a greater foldlevel. If so, unfold the current line.
nnoremap ,z :%foldc!<CR>:folddoclosed if foldlevel('.') < foldlevel(line('.')+1) | exe 'norm! zo' | endif. Unfortunately it does not work and I get some error messages E490 that there are no folds.
