  " folding : hide sections to allow easier comparisons
  zf} : fold paragraph using motion
  v}zf : fold paragraph using visual
  zf'a : fold to mark
  zo : open fold
  zc : re-close fold
  :help folding
  

  the folds I used a) move to beginning of code I wish to work on and everything before

  zf1G : fold all lines from current line to beginning of the file
  

  a) move to end of code I wish to work on and everything after

  I like adding the following mappings

  inoremap . .<C-g>u
  inoremap ! !<C-g>u
  inoremap ? ?<C-g>u
  inoremap : :<C-g>u
  

  The C-g u sets an undo point, so this has the effect of letting me type for a while and have undo just revert one sentence at a time, instead of everything I've typed since entering insert mode.
