I've recently been trying to write a 'foldtext' setting that is specific to LaTeX and would include useful information like for a example the caption information for a folded environment. But then I discovered that the 'foldtext' setting is local to a window and not to a buffer, making filetype-specific foldtexts pretty much impossible. So if I were to for example edit my LaTeX file and a C file that I'm writing about in the same window I can't have foldtexts that are tuned for those files, respectively.
Are you sure this is a problem? Have you tried it? :help local-options explains how window-local settings are kept per-buffer so when you reuse a window to edit a buffer you've edited before, the options for that buffer+window combination are used, or if the buffer wasn't edited in that window before, the options from the last window used for that buffer. Window-local doesn't actually mean window-local irrespective of buffer; it somewhat means window-and-buffer-local. Ben. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
