Re: Editor: Folding sections?

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

I did this quick thing.
It opens a window with a list of all the procedures,  (see pic)
you can simply and quickly collapse/expand single subs or collapse
all/expand all, invert all

https://gitlab.com/bsteers4/gambas/-/blob/fold-procs/app/src/gambas3/.src/Editor/Code/FFoldProcs.class

Here's a clip of it working...

It uses existing TextEditor functions
.FindNextLimit(Y)
._IsRowExpanded(Y)
._CollapseRow(Y)
._ExpandRow(Y)
.CollapseAll()
.ExpandAll()
