When I started to use taglist and ctags I stopped using folding.
Are there some reasons to still use folding of code when you use
ctags and taglist?
I can imagine only two examples. When I have large pieces of code or functions
that are over the whole screen. Or when I want to hide comments.
Is there some main trick of folding I don’t know about?
thank you
That’s pretty much it.
Folding is about hiding sections of code.
Tags are about jumping to pieces of code.
Whatever you want to do with either of those purposes is valid. Example, I’ve used folding on big chunks of code to verify that indenting custom text lined up correctly.
The only other “trick” of folding is that it makes you win the lottery if you use it right. But those of us that know the trick aren’t going to tell.
