This is currently not possible as we are relying on Code's Fold logic. ### Fold commands Pretty much everything fold-related is blocked by [this issue](https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/1004). Status | Command | Description ---|--------|------------------------------ :arrow_down: | zf{motion} or {Visual}zf | Operator to create a fold. :arrow_down: | zF | Create a fold for [count] lines. Works like "zf". :arrow_down: | zd | Delete one fold at the cursor. :arrow_down: | zD | Delete folds recursively at the cursor. :arrow_down: | zE | Eliminate all folds in the window. :white_check_mark: | zo | Open one fold under the cursor.When a count is given, that many folds deep will be opened. :white_check_mark: | zO | Open all folds under the cursor recursively. :white_check_mark: | zc | Close one fold under the cursor. When a count is given, that many folds deep are closed. :white_check_mark:| zC | Close all folds under the cursor recursively. :arrow_down: | za | When on a closed fold: open it. When on an open fold: close it and set 'foldenable'. :arrow_down: | zA | When on a closed fold: open it recursively. When on an open fold: close it recursively and set 'foldenable'. :arrow_down: | zv | View cursor line: Open just enough folds to make the line in which the cursor is located not folded. :arrow_down: | zx | Update folds: Undo manually opened and closed folds: re-apply 'foldlevel', then do "zv": View cursor line. :arrow_down: | zX | Undo manually opened and closed folds :arrow_down: | zm | Fold more: Subtract one from 'foldlevel'. :white_check_mark: | zM | Close all folds: set 'foldlevel' to 0. 'foldenable' will be set. :arrow_down: | zr | Reduce folding: Add one to 'foldlevel'. :white_check_mark: | zR | Open all folds. This sets 'foldlevel' to highest fold level. :arrow_down: | zn | Fold none: reset 'foldenable'. All folds will be open. :arrow_down: | zN | Fold normal: set 'foldenable'. All folds will be as they were before. :arrow_down: | zi | Invert 'foldenable'. :arrow_down: | [z | Move to the start of the current open fold. :arrow_down: | ]z | Move to the end of the current open fold. :arrow_down: | zj | Move downwards to the start of the next fold. :arrow_down: | zk | Move upwards to the end of the previous fold. ### Fold options Currently we don't support any fold option and we are following Code configurations.
