Support Vim fold keybindings (zo, zc, za, zf, zd, zR, zM) in the code editor

[narley]

Summary

Feature request to add Vim fold keybindings to Warp's code editor, enabling users to collapse and expand code sections using standard Vim fold commands.

Problem

Warp's code editor Vim mode does not support any fold-related keybindings. Users who rely on folds to manage code visibility in Vim/Neovim must work around the absence by scrolling or other means, breaking their established editing workflow. This is a frequent friction point rather than a rare inconvenience.

Reproduction steps or desired workflow

1. Open a file in Warp's code editor with Vim keybindings enabled.
2. Navigate to a block of code (function, class, or region).
3. Use zf with a motion or visual selection to create a fold.
4. Use zo / zc / za to open, close, or toggle individual folds.
5. Use zR / zM to open or close all folds in the buffer.
6. Use zd to delete a fold.

Here's what I found while triaging this issue:

This looks like a real feature gap: Warp has non-Vim fold shortcuts today, but Vim mode does not expose the standard z fold commands. I did not find an open duplicate for this exact request.

Maintainer details

I concluded that feature request to wire standard Vim fold commands into Warp's code editor Vim mode..

Triage summary

This is an enhancement request for Vim-mode folding support in Warp's code editor. The requested workflow is clear: support standard Vim fold commands including zo, zc, za, zf, zd, zR, and zM.

Reproducibility

High for the feature gap. Current code has generic editor fold actions and a FoldMap, but Vim mode does not appear to parse or dispatch z-prefixed fold commands.

Likely implementation area

• crates/vim/src/vim.rs owns Vim command parsing and VimEventType; it currently handles supported motions/operators but has no fold events.
• app/src/code/editor/view/vim_handler.rs implements VimHandler for the code editor and would need to dispatch any new fold events to editor/model behavior.
• app/src/editor/view/mod.rs, app/src/editor/view/model/mod.rs, and app/src/editor/view/model/display_map/fold_map.rs show existing fold/unfold primitives (Fold, Unfold, FoldSelectedRanges, FoldMap::fold, FoldMap::unfold) that may be reusable or need extension for open/close/toggle/delete/all-fold semantics.

Duplicate check

I enumerated open issues and found adjacent fold/collapse requests, but not an open duplicate for Vim fold keybindings in the code editor. Examples reviewed as non-duplicates include terminal/log fold requests and existing generic editor fold behavior reports.

This is my automated analysis and may be incorrect. A maintainer will verify the details.
