Configure Vim to always open first fold only

Is it possible to configure Vim to always open first fold only in a given file (and left the rest of them closed)?

Preferably I would like to setup Vim to do this for specific files but a general setting would be enough.

If you mean the first level of folding, that's controlled by the 'foldlevel' option, and 'foldlevelstart' governs its initial value. So :set foldlevelstart=1 would do that.

If you mean the first fold in a file, you can do that via a sequence of commands:

  • zM closes all folds
  • ggzj goes to the first fold in the buffer
  • zo / zO opens one / all levels under the cursor.

To apply this automatically, use:

:autocmd BufWinEnter * normal! zMggzjzo
