I've uninstalled for now/ remain with 1.8.13. There are no shortcut keys for editor code folding & no setting for using an external editor.

@per1234: can you add os:linux label as well? (Or remove the windows one.)

I've stayed with IDE v1.8 for last 3 years but now again installed v2 IDE & no progress. The Windows F10 key, conventionally used to move focus to the main menu doesn't work, however just discovered from a similar topic that the Alt key by itself works similar to F10. Better than nothing.
