I've noticed that lot of Vim users use something like "{{{" in their codes, I had no idea what is that meant for a long time, but since I started using vim, I finally understand. This is a "folding" command, which enables "fold" the long code with user-special foldmarkers. This is one of the cool and convenient features of vim.

Here is good tutorial site about folding:

• Linux.com :: Vim tips: Folding fun

• macvim - Google Code

I've never been a fun of Vi/Vim or E-Macs, but I think there's some reason to use and understand the long-run standards, and I need some kind of default editing environment which is OS-independent 'cause I'm a multi-OS user (OS X, Ubuntu, Win XP), so I've just started using Vim.

Since I'm a newbie I'm gonna clip some tips here in this blog.
