While I'm at it:
I found parts of this poster to be a really handy reference. It's too detailed for a single sheet of A4 so I used rasterbator to break it into several and print it at home. I've since realised I don't use all of it, and physically cut it down to a convenient shape and size for my workbench.
This
is the best tip I've found in this thread so far, and it's come to me just as I needed it. Amazing. Thank you! One question about this bit:
Hint
If you place these variables between braces, { }, you can then code fold this area at the opening { bace + and - button.
This works for me, in that the code becomes collapsable... but then I get an error when I try to compile:
exit status 1
expected unqualified-id before '{' token
Can you see what I'm doing wrong please?

Humm, I could swear this worked at one time.
Better still, use tabs in the IDE to organize your code.
Here, all the global variables have been cut from our sketch and pasted into a new Tab in our sketch (Header.h).
Once they are in the the new Tab , a #include #include "Header.h"
Add other Tabs as needed.
What this allows you to do is access your Global variables etc. from anywhere in your main sketch by simply clicking on the Header.h Tab whenever needed.

Can I suggest you open a new thread in Programming to get an answer.

A curly bracket "}" is not going to be effective if it is in a comment.
