The solution that I have in mind is this.
Let's say your language is abc (perl, c, cpp, etc). Let's denote is abc
for sake of this example.
1. Create file ~/.vim/after/synatx/abc-x.vim
2. Put this nito file abc-x.vim:
if exists("b:current_syntax") | finish | endif
runtime syntax/abc.vim
set foldmethod=expr
set foldexpr=0
syn region myFold start='{' end='}' transparent fold
syntax sync fromstart
set foldmethod=syntax
3. In the window where you want to turn own ReFold, you do
:set filetype=abc-x
To reset folsing & back:
:set filetype=abc
I expect this shall do it.
Note that this solution will trigger your custom additions
in all windows where filetype if abc-x, but leave intact windows
with different filetypes.
Explanation:
The thing in your ReFold that scrambles syntax of other
windows is 'syn off|syn on'. You need to avoid 'syn off|syn on' on
one hand, and still preserve your local syntax-related commands.
My solution above tries to to do exactly this.
