collapse blocks of code from closing curly braces

[msh-shf]

Hello,
It is a very practical feature to collapse code blocks from closing curly brace like PHPStorm.

this is a very practical feature, since i dont always want to fold my blocks using "fold" key shortcuts. With this feature i dont need to scroll up to the beginning of my block every time i need to collapse it.

Meanwhile you may like to try this extension I wrote.

thanks a lot but this still does not provide what we mentioned. jet brains already did this for their editors as you can see below

Hi @gjsjohnmurray,
When the cursor is located at the end of the block and I fold the block, the parent block will be folded!

So you want a upwards facing arrow at the bottom of a folding range as well as the top?
what should happen if there are 2 folding ranges that end/start on the same line?

∨   if {
        // code
∧   }


∨   if {
        // code
∧   } else {    // what should happen here? 
        // code
∧  }

Hi @RedCMD,
Yes, this is exactly what I mean and,
If 2 blocks start/end on the same line, the priority would be with the closing curly bracket, like below:

if {...} else {

}

When the cursor is located at the end of the block and I fold the block, the parent block will be folded!

@msh-shf I suggest you right-click one line higher up then.

@Jacobify it isn't possible for extensions to achieve what you want, but the extra context menu items are a workaround.

@aeschli that issue links to a PR that has been languishing for several years. Can it get some love?

@gjsjohnmurray
as much as i find the context menu great to use , i still feel like adding an arrow at the end of each block won't be asking for overkill . the down-side arrow is there folding/unfolding blocks, all needed is a up-side arrow doing the same thing only located at the end of the block
