You have shortcuts: CTRL+ENTER and CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. The more buttons I get on 
a toolbar, the more worried I am.

There is a problem in the editor internal logic when inserting a new line. It 
is not directly related to the folding support. I must investigate...

There is another bug in the procedure combo-box: sometimes the line numbers 
associated with the procedure names are one line too high... Strange!
