Please add support for Code Folding. Enhancment

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Code folding is a great way to look at your source without being
overwhelmed by it. Please add folding (even if just at the function level
for now)

Thanks,
Josh

It is just an neccesary

code folding is a nice to have,  but nowhere near a neccessity for coders

PyScripter should be geared towards its strengths; its a free python debugger, 
which 
are pretty much non-existant. Therefore, anything that can improve the 
debugging 
experience should be prioritized above the editing experience (most python 
coders 
already have their preferred editor, and will switch to Scripter to debug.) 
Code 
folding should be low priority.

I have to disagree with garret about low priority. I love pyscripter and would 
like
to do all my python development inside of it. Switching out to a different 
editor for
development means having another application running with its own 
idiosyncrasies to
remember.

Agree that its not a 'necessity' though.

I think that even for debugging, code folding is specially useful. I think that
Python is one of the languages that benefit the most of code folding, given that
there are no brackets to mark the beginning and end of blocks.

More than once I had a bug because of a non properly indented line of code! 
With Code
Folding (and block markers) this would be much easier to find.

I too think code folding would be a real plus. I have already moved my 
development
activity to PyScripter and this productivity enhancement would high on my 
priority list.

Sorry, what exactly code folding stands for?
We already have the "code explorer" but I guess it's a different thing...

I'm certainly a fan. When you add it can you add a "fold all top level 
functions on
open"? I've only found one IDE that will fold all top level functions when 
opening a
document. I loved that feature too.

A feature I've never found anywhere but I think would completely rock is if 
there was
an option to fold all top-level functions AND all the top-level def's inside 
the classes.

Eh? Eh? Awwwww... :)

Great work on this IDE. I've never found code completion this good outside of 
pycrust.

Code folding is important in order to save valuable time, specially in large 
files.

In Issue 158 is stated that Tab guides will be introduced as a part of this 
issue.
But if code folding is going to take some time, can it be introduced as a 
separate 
feature?

Yes, code folding is the only thing that I as a self taught python programmer 
find that 
PyScripter lacks.

I have been using PythonWin for years and have recently discovered PyScripter.  
I would love to now use PyScripter exclusively but not having the code folding 
seems a bit odd.  PythonWin is free and it has it, why not PyScripter.  Here's 
my vote for code folding.

very handy feature +1

Original comment by freerid...@gmail.com on 5 Feb 2011 at 8:28

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From my viewpoint there is so far not a perfect IDE for python.
Pyscripter, lacks code folding; while Geany lacks a buildin interpreter for 
debugging.

If it would contain codefolding pyscripter would be the best IDE.
Now i switch constantly between Geany and Pyscripter, not something i like; but 
its almost impossible to keep overview on large python programs.

How about a small update in between before version 3, just to have this ?

oh and based on tab indents this shouldn't be such a hard problem to tackle.

+1 for code folding. Also consider user definable regions. e.g:

#region
...code...
#endregion

The above would be collapsable as well.

*   +1 for code folding
*   +0.2 for region definition

code folding would be awesome

Original comment by maxwell....@gmail.com on 13 Mar 2012 at 12:35

[GoogleCodeExporter]

this was first mentioned about 6 years ago
its one of the simplest things that could be added to pyscripter
its ranked and has 50 votes ? its one of the top things that could be improved.

yet 6 year laters its mentioned for version 3, to the people waiting for it, 
that sounds like it will never happen.. why ? having folding in a texblock its 
so easy to program why not give it a try you would make a lot people happy with 
it.

maybe its an idea for the developer to throw the question into a phyton forum 
on how to do code folding, so he /she will get some smart examples, just a tip

anyway i hope this project isnt dead for 6 years and we will see it some day 
soon

Yet another request here for code folding (aka block collapsing)!

Original comment by arde...@gmail.com on 30 May 2012 at 7:51

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I was just about sold on moving over to PyScripter, when I noticed there was no 
block collapsing, after looking for the option (which is priceless to avoid 
being overwhelmed with your own complex code!) and not finding it, I've decided 
to delay my adoption until its added. Although it seems that I shouldn't hold 
my breath :-(

I think pyscripter is the ide that best fullfills my needs but it really would 
be a tremendous improvement to provide it with the 'fold-unfold' feature.

I think it's not easy, since the code editor component (Synedit) itself doesn't 
support code folding.

A better option is DScintilla, it's much powerful, I am using it in LIVEditor - 
a new text editor for web coders, with a Firebug-like UI for tweaking 
css/html/js lively (http://liveditor.com).

Original comment by edwin....@liveditor.com on 14 Aug 2012 at 8:50

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Including code folding would be a huge plus. My coding needs are mostly served 
by PyScripter, but sometimes I really need to fold part of the code. Besides 
the obvious "indent" criteria for indention, it would be also useful to have an 
"explicit" delimiter, similar to the "#region" suggested above. An excellent 
implementation of folding with explicit delimiters is found in jEdit.

Hi I want to help you port the current Synedit to add code folding but tried to 
find the letter press sources and could not find the sources to be based off. 
Any guidance where to start?

Original comment by fdue...@gmail.com on 16 May 2013 at 6:32

Since I'm doing more and more wx scripting, code folding has become a real 
need. If it worked only at class level, I would be very happy, and could wait 
until it folds also defs.

I'm almost certain that I'm talking to myself at this point, but:

Code folding, please?  It was the next big thing on your list nearly 3 years 
ago?

What's the holdup?  Maybe someone will help you.  Love this IDE otherwise. <3

If this feature has been already added, could someone tell me how to collapse 
the code block?
