nvim-ufo

The goal of nvim-ufo is to make Neovim's fold look modern and keep high performance.

ufo-demo.mp4

setup foldcolumn like demo


Table of contents

Features

  • Penetrate color for folded lines like other modern editors/IDEs
  • Never block Neovim
  • Adding folds high accuracy with Folding Range in LSP
  • Support fallback and customize strategy for fold provider
  • Peek folded line and jump the desired location with less redraw

Quickstart

Requirements

Installation

Install with Packer.nvim:

use {'kevinhwang91/nvim-ufo', requires = 'kevinhwang91/promise-async'}

Minimal configuration

use {'kevinhwang91/nvim-ufo', requires = 'kevinhwang91/promise-async'}

vim.o.foldcolumn = '1' -- '0' is not bad
vim.o.foldlevel = 99 -- Using ufo provider need a large value, feel free to decrease the value
vim.o.foldlevelstart = 99
vim.o.foldenable = true

-- Using ufo provider need remap `zR` and `zM`. If Neovim is 0.6.1, remap yourself
vim.keymap.set('n', 'zR', require('ufo').openAllFolds)
vim.keymap.set('n', 'zM', require('ufo').closeAllFolds)

-- Option 1: coc.nvim as LSP client
use {'neoclide/coc.nvim', branch = 'master', run = 'yarn install --frozen-lockfile'}
require('ufo').setup()
--

-- Option 2: nvim lsp as LSP client
-- Tell the server the capability of foldingRange,
-- Neovim hasn't added foldingRange to default capabilities, users must add it manually
local capabilities = vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities()
capabilities.textDocument.foldingRange = {
    dynamicRegistration = false,
    lineFoldingOnly = true
}
local language_servers = require("lspconfig").util.available_servers() -- or list servers manually like {'gopls', 'clangd'}
for _, ls in ipairs(language_servers) do
    require('lspconfig')[ls].setup({
        capabilities = capabilities
        -- you can add other fields for setting up lsp server in this table
    })
end
require('ufo').setup()
--

-- Option 3: treesitter as a main provider instead
-- (Note: the `nvim-treesitter` plugin is *not* needed.)
-- ufo uses the same query files for folding (queries/<lang>/folds.scm)
-- performance and stability are better than `foldmethod=nvim_treesitter#foldexpr()`
require('ufo').setup({
    provider_selector = function(bufnr, filetype, buftype)
        return {'treesitter', 'indent'}
    end
})
--

-- Option 4: disable all providers for all buffers
-- Not recommend, AFAIK, the ufo's providers are the best performance in Neovim
require('ufo').setup({
    provider_selector = function(bufnr, filetype, buftype)
        return ''
    end
})

Usage

Use fold as usual.

Using a provider of ufo, must set a large value for foldlevel, this is the limitation of foldmethod=manual. A small value may close fold automatically if the fold ranges updated.

After running zR and zM normal commands will change the foldlevel, ufo provide the APIs openAllFolds/closeAllFolds to open/close all folds but keep foldlevel value, need to remap them.

Like zR and zM, if you used zr and zm before, please use closeFoldsWith API to close folds like set foldlevel=n but keep foldlevel value.

Documentation

How does nvim-ufo get the folds?

If ufo detect foldmethod option is not diff or marker, it will request the providers to get the folds, the request strategy is formed by the main and the fallback. The default value of main is lsp and the default value of fallback is indent which implemented by ufo.

For example, Changing the text in a buffer will request the providers for folds.

foldmethod option will finally become manual if ufo is working.

Customize fold text

Adding number suffix of folded lines instead of the default ellipsis, here is the example:

local handler = function(virtText, lnum, endLnum, width, truncate)
    local newVirtText = {}
    local suffix = (' 󰁂 %d '):format(endLnum - lnum)
    local sufWidth = vim.fn.strdisplaywidth(suffix)
    local targetWidth = width - sufWidth
    local curWidth = 0
    for _, chunk in ipairs(virtText) do
        local chunkText = chunk[1]
        local chunkWidth = vim.fn.strdisplaywidth(chunkText)
        if targetWidth > curWidth + chunkWidth then
            table.insert(newVirtText, chunk)
        else
            chunkText = truncate(chunkText, targetWidth - curWidth)
            local hlGroup = chunk[2]
            table.insert(newVirtText, {chunkText, hlGroup})
            chunkWidth = vim.fn.strdisplaywidth(chunkText)
            -- str width returned from truncate() may less than 2nd argument, need padding
            if curWidth + chunkWidth < targetWidth then
                suffix = suffix .. (' '):rep(targetWidth - curWidth - chunkWidth)
            end
            break
        end
        curWidth = curWidth + chunkWidth
    end
    table.insert(newVirtText, {suffix, 'MoreMsg'})
    return newVirtText
end

-- global handler
-- `handler` is the 2nd parameter of `setFoldVirtTextHandler`,
-- check out `./lua/ufo.lua` and search `setFoldVirtTextHandler` for detail.
require('ufo').setup({
    fold_virt_text_handler = handler
})

-- buffer scope handler
-- will override global handler if it is existed
-- local bufnr = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
-- require('ufo').setFoldVirtTextHandler(bufnr, handler)
