+Editing compressed files with Vim *gzip* *bzip2* *compress*
+
+1. Autocommands |gzip-autocmd|
+
+The functionality mentioned here is a |standard-plugin|.
+This plugin is only available if 'compatible' is not set.
+You can avoid loading this plugin by setting the "loaded_gzip" variable: >
+ :let loaded_gzip = 1
+
+==============================================================================
+1. Autocommands *gzip-autocmd*
+
+The plugin installs autocommands to intercept reading and writing of files
+with these extensions:
+
+ extension compression ~
+ *.Z compress (Lempel-Ziv)
+ *.gz gzip
+ *.bz2 bzip2
+ *.lzma lzma
+ *.xz xz
+ *.lz lzip
+ *.zst zstd
+
+That's actually the only thing you need to know. There are no options.
+
+After decompressing a file, the filetype will be detected again. This will
+make a file like "foo.c.gz" get the "c" filetype.
+
+If you have 'patchmode' set, it will be appended after the extension for
+compression. Thus editing the patchmode file will not give you the automatic
+decompression. You have to rename the file if you want this.
