How to set the default to unfolded when you open a

Question

In my .vimrc I've put set foldmethod=syntax to enable folding of methods etc. However, I don't like the default that everytime I open a file, the whole thing is folded. Is there a way to enable foldmethod, yet have files unfolded when I open them?

Answer 1

You can add

set foldlevelstart=99

to your .vimrc file, and it will start editing any new file with all folds open.
