That type of thing works nicely, except for the fact that as
soon as you set foldmethod=expr, you lose any other syntax based
folding that's in place. Is it possible to do something like
foldmethod+=expr, so that the syntax based folding remains in
effect? I don't believe that can be done, but I'd love to
hear suggestions for a work-around.
I originally was hoping to do what Jack was asking for, which is
to hide the lines and continue working in the buffer, but in
retrospect, that may not be particularly safe. Filtering to
a temporary buffer will probably satisfy me.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
It's easy to add saving of preexisting fold-rules in the
mappings. In the toggle mapping, the 3rd state would
be restoration of old mappings instead of disabled folding.
You can do it yourself.
It's easy. Just assign &foldmethod, &foldexpr &foldenable
etc to global variables, and make a mapping to restore it.
I don't just want it restored, though. I want both types of
folding enabled simultaneously.
