Working in an index with mucked up manual folds. Would like to delete folds from current line to end of file.
Have tried:
:.,$zd
and
:.,$df
So far I've just done a visual selection from current line to end of file and keyed in:
zD
to delete all folds recursively in the selection. Works, but would be nice if there was a way to enter a range instead.
Thoughts?
You can use the :normal command to execute a normal command such as zD for all lines in a range.
To execute that command in all lines from the current one until the end of the file, you can use:
:.,$normal! zD
I'm using :normal! to ignore any mappings affecting the zD command and use Vim's native definition of that command. (But if you don't have any such mappings, using :normal is just fine.) You can also abbreviate the command to :norm if you like.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but you can wrap it into Ex command:
command! -bar -range DeleteFolds execute printf("normal! %dGV%dGzD", <line1>, <line2>)
