Subject: feat(nvim): retain boundaries of Tree-sitter folds
X-Git-Url: https://git.xinqibao.xyz/dotfiles.git/commitdiff_plain/1617970b6d578d49fd6fa212edba780f59af46fd?ds=inline

feat(nvim): retain boundaries of Tree-sitter folds

Trim native folds by one line at both ends, preserving visible code and its syntax highlighting. Keep short interiors visible through the default foldminlines setting.

Use a zero fold expression until a parser starts successfully, including after changing to an unsupported filetype.
