Re: Can I mix the use of fold-expr with fold-marker just as mixing fold-expr with fold-manual?

Thank you very much Ben!

My goal would be folding Python classes/functions automatically based on indentation, and also folding the import part at the top and some python long dict. The latter does not necessarily conform to indentation rules so marker would be ideal.

The only concern about using "manual" method is once I switch to manual, can I still automatically fold up classes that are created after switching? What do pros normally do to solve this? Any hint or url would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

What is your eventual goal? If you just want to make manual folds persistent, you can save a view with the :mkview command, and load it with :loadview.
