description
This plugin aids in editing large documents as it provides narrow and widening features. It has two commands which you can invoke: :NarrowToSelection which narrows text to the current selection in Visual Mode. If you are in normal mode, calling this command will narrow to the current line. The other command is :Widen which when called will restore the text buffer. The plugin protects user data during computer crashes if text is narrowed: hidden text is placed in a .wide file. Upon quitting with :q, the text is restored.
