Do you mean to tell me that there are editors that do not have this feature?

Some of us have been doing this long enough that 'new fangled tools' can be hard to keep up with. I "just looked" for a decent code collapsing editor "a few years ago". ;) At the time, I was disappointed with that new IDE, Eclipse. It was hard to install, was Java-centric, didn't have decent Perl support, and was too much trouble for small scripts. ;) (1)

I just gave the folding option for vim a try. I'll pass on that particular implementation of folding: It doesn't qualify as 'good' (or at least I couldn't figure out how to collapse/uncollapse stuff any other way than changing the 'foldlevel'). The other features in the Perl-Support plugin look very interesting.

Looking at SciTe and Geany (neither of which I had seen before today) I am initially impressed with their implementations of folding. Geany looks nice in general. My desktop work tools may be about to change.

Live and learn.

* 1 Yes. I know. My point was that it has been a few years since then. See the winking smilelies.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
