It is recommended to support folding of the code snippet also retain its folded format

@sbfkcel Can you please spare a few more words to describe this issue

[sbfkcel]

E.g: Now copy a piece of code (folding state)

After pasting to another location, it is desirable to maintain its folded state. Of

Rather than paste after the start

I hope my description is accurate

Validated is not the same problem as I describe what I hope to solve.

Column selection mode refers to turning a horizontal selection into a vertical selection.

When selecting, if you need to select the complete content of each line, you need to drag the cursor to the end of each line. And if it is in a folded state and copied and pasted, it is not pasting the complete content (that is, not including the folded part of the content, from your GIF demo, the code line number after pasting can also be clearly seen).

[huahuayu]

@sbfkcel ok then I will withdraw my comment. I only need to keep the function signature, so it's different.

It would nice if this worked for Copy line down as well, which I use more often (together with Move line down) in cases where I'm want the copy in the same file. (The advantages being a) you don't have to be as precise in selecting what you want, and b) in Python, where indentation isn't automatically adjusted on paste, I don't end up pasting onto a line where there's already a tab character, thus shifting my first line out of place).

Interestingly, Copy line down and regular copy-pasting have opposite (undesirable) behaviors.

Copy-paste - the original stays folded, the pasted version gets unfolded:

Copy line down - the new copy stays folded, the original gets unfolded:
