Describe the feature

VSCode has a nice Vim command za to fold / unfold code under cursor.

(This is not a native Vim behavior - Vim is natively more restrictive as you must have an existing fold for this to work.)

This works for all languages, as in markdown:

you can do it with keymaps:

  {
    "context": "Editor && VimControl && !VimWaiting && !menu",
    "bindings": {
      // put key-bindings here if you want them to work in normal & visual mode
      "g f": "editor::Fold",
      "g u": "editor::UnfoldLines"
    }
  },

@rauann I might be wrong, but it seems to me that this solution has 2 problems:

• gu and gf are already existing vim command
• You have 2 different commands for fold/unfold, instead of only one that acts as a toggle

Bump! Would love this feature.

Also bump - Feels quite strange not being able to easily fold and unfold things. Are we able to hook the editor's folding controls (To enable the LSP to do a majority of the lifting work and defer to the indenting set there?)

[TKone7]

Yes we absolutely need editor::ToggleFold!
