Tip: #241 - Hide fold markers

Created: May 2, 2002 Complexity: intermediate Author: Edwin Version: 6.0 Karma: 2/4 Imported from: Tip#241

I wanted to start using folding without having to get used to seeing the (default) markers, aka {{{ and }}}. So, here are two autocmds that will make them fade to black (bg=black, fg=black). Alternatively, you could use the Ignore highlighting group.

au BufRead,BufNewfile * syn match fmrkr '"*{{{\|"*}}}' |
  \ syn cluster vimCommentGroup contains=fmrkr |
  \ hi fmrkr term=NONE guibg=black guifg=black
  \ ctermbg=black ctermfg=black

au BufRead,BufNewfile * syn match fmrkr '"*{{{\|"*}}}'
  \ containedin=vimLineComment contained |
  \ hi fmrkr term=NONE guibg=black guifg=black
  \ ctermbg=black ctermfg=black

They both accomplish the same thing, but with different methods, so simply pick one and see those annoying (at least to me) markers fade away.

I just tried it out with vim files, but you can easily modify it for any other filetypes.

Understanding most of :help syntax.txt would also be helpful.
See VimTip99 to determine what highlighting group the cursor is in.

Comments

TODO Rename tip to remove quotes (a good idea, and then won't need to put sort field in categories).
