Folded 2.0

[MikeB]

this is a feature request for the editor.
Which is getting better and better.

To improve it a bit more the following idea.

It would be nice if in addition to the existing code foldability a freely selectable one could be added.

So you could start the first line with:

//Start - whatever is written here.

Here is the code and everything within this area can be folded.

//End ----

So everything between //Start - or //START and //End or //END is folded.

This way you can group your lines better and more clearly.
And you can determine yourself what is to be folded.
I can then fold my own table of contents.

Even lines that I don't need but take up a lot of space (variables, arrays) I can keep folded.

//Start - All variables
Or
//Start - All FXPanels
etc.

The saving of lines of code and the new clarity would be enormous.

Maybe it is feasible when Christoph has gained a little distance from the editor programming horror. :-)

That's actually a good idea. However I would reuse the bookmark feature for this.

So if you write a comment like this

//! My Bookmark
ljdlfksdf

You can navigate to it by clicking on the mousewheel, but this could also be used to generate a folding item.

@Christoph-Hart Yes, the advantage would be in the quick and clear grouping whose titles I can determine myself. Which, as I said, makes it possible to structure the many lines that cannot be folded at the moment, such as variables or arrays, neatly.

I am very much looking forward to it

@MikeB you can also just use brackets, they allow fold ability:

// Variables
{
var y;
var y;
}

@ustk
This leads to a crash with me (Build 1.Sept.21) and forces me to correct the error with an external editor.

@MikeB Oh I see! I haven't really tried with declarations… only here and there in the code. this is kind of changing the scope, so not a good solution…

@MikeB Aha, well spotted!
