Simple Code Collapse

A great help to me while debugging would be the ability to collapse code based on a range of lines. Oftentimes I'll need to look at two separate areas of the same file and right now have to scroll quite a bit.

The way I see it working is highlighting a series of lines and clicking a collpase button. This would collapse those lines into a single line with a place holder in the line number gutter. Clicking the placeholder would expand to code back to normal. This should be easier for you to implement than a tag based collapse.

This will most likely be available in version 2006 which is due to very soon.

I like the idea for CSS files too. A "master button" could collapse all CSS lines at once, saving a lot time to scroll the document.
A button (placeholder) at the gutter could open a single block again.

why not do it as it is done in UltraEdit:

a tag which cover several lines gets a - and this way you can colllapse the lines. (expand with +)

that, and maybe if...else combo's could get a {-}/{+} in the gutter too..

And a code-editor split screen..

Any plans to get Code Collapse to work with Word Wrap on in a future release?

Hi,
I have rapid php 2006 and I do not see "rollup/collapse" feature... Are there any plans for an update?

Just read the big list ... I see code collapse at the veryend on this page:

http://www.blumentals.com/rapidphp/

Countless goodies (code collapse, line highlighting, text indentation etc.)

Just curious wondering how to use it, if it's there.

Also, can we have the ability to use the built in browser feature to view all websites. (e.g., so we can use the browser feature to work on sites that are not http://localhost)

Other than that... the built in database connectivity rocks! Nice add on!

I also like the braces and bracet highlighting. Thanks Karlis.

Code collapse must be enabled in options. Just a note - code collapse may slow down editing if used on documents that have very long lines (thousands of characters), also it might be distracting, thus it is enabled optionally.

Currently what is implemented is SIMPLE code collapse, the smart collapse based on code is left for future releases / updates.

that's perfect for me. I hadn't seen it because I have my own screwy menu setup. Really cool!

What's 'advanced' code collapse?

Post by **Karlis** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 5:05 am

Advanced (smart) code collapse is when the + and - marks appear automatically near language specific blocks of code, e.g. functions, tags, comments etc.

ah yes. That's the way MS Visual Studio does it. I must admit, it's pretty nice. It might be the only thing I like about Visual Studio. ;)
