Fold up / hide large pieces of code

Hello,

Is there also the possibility in the Arduino software to fold up / hide certain pieces of code by pressing the minus sign?

In visual studio this possibility exists. I this way you can hide large pieces of code you don't use at the moment.

Best regards,

OpenSource

Nope, edit your files in a more advanced editor if you're familiar and comfortable with code folding. The Arduino IDE is purposely bare-bones as far as editing goes.

When I find myself about to use the code folding feature, I ask myself if maybe I need to do a little refactoring and move it into distinct functions or libraries. Its not always the answer, but a good mental exercise if nothing else

Ok great.

Thanks.

Also, the tabs seem to provide a bit of separation of code. They might be something to consider.
