Code folding

Open dlzi opened this issue 9 years ago • 23 comments

Hello,

Do you have any plan for code folding?

dlzi avatar Oct 22 '15 05:10 dlzi

Currently not. I don't have fixed plan for it. I'll consider.

Any chance?

@danielzilli Still under consideration. To implement this feature, I need to change (or improve) CotEditor's syntax definition format at first and this is a quite hard task. Actually, I also want to add this feature, but need time.

Love Coteditor as well. Also want to leave my +1 for the feature.

CotEditor is the quick, minimal editor with just enough functions - and this is the only key feature missing for me.

I privately investigated the possibility of implementation of code folding last years, and found it relates deeply with TextKit framework (and also update of the syntax definition format, I mentioned previously). Meanwhile, Apple released TextKit 2 at WWDC 2021 and CotEditor needs to migrate to it one day in the future.

The problem is TextKit 2 is actually very different from the current TextKit (1) on which CotEditor depends a lot. That means it requires a lot of work only to migrate from TextKit 1 to TextKit 2 in the next few years, and I'd like to implement code folding first after the migration is done. Otherwise, the migration becomes much more complex.

I'm actually interested in implementing code folding even it is hard. I also know a high demand. But due to the reason above, I have to say it will not be implemented in the next few years, at least.
