The only problem is you still need to be able to view/edit the full file at times (I assume the editors you gave links to do that?).

MultiEdit can do this as well (the feature is called "collapsing"), it adds a small "+" sign to the collapsed lines that you can click to expand the folded section. It also has an option to un-fold the whole document in one step. I don't use this feature very often but from time to time it comes very handy... Thomas | |

David Bray | Re: How about a folding editor? on Tue, 20 Jan 2004 09:09:37 +1000 An interesting post Claudio lots of food for thought .. on the surface with seeing the related projects at; http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/fxscintilla/ and; http://www.phpwebclasses.org/ the editor component of the VX2 IDE with wrinkles still needing a lot of wrinkles to iron out in the past dlesko and other, now clayton jones seems to be the current testimony "why are you reinventing the wheel" pradigm http://www.phpwebclasses.org/ has a downloadable editor, very flexible on the syntax hihlighting.

Yes, and there are many others too. The point is, they don't have hooks so that what you type gets reflected in the project manager and the form-designer (and vice-versa).

This editor had folding and it helped a lot to work more productive. regards, Steffen F.

Steffen F. Pirsig [Alaska Research] | Re: How about a folding editor? on Thu, 22 Jan 2004 18:15:41 +0100 Claudio, yes but folding helps more. For example: 1. you have a module/function/procedure with a deep nested logical structure. Here folding helps you to understand and verify the logic, it also makes errors almost instant visible. 2. code-injection can be hidden, meaning the design tools generates code for a method - the design tool also maintains that code for the method - normally you dont care about that code so it is by default folded. If you want to have a look at this type of code, simple unfold. Just my few 0.02$ Steffen F.
