Using Code Folding

To fold a block of code:

1. Stand within a class, function or PHPDocBlock.

2. Click the minus sign on the marker bar to the left of the editor.

The first line of code will remain visible but the other lines will not be displayed. A fold indicator will appear at the end of the line when the code is folded to indicate that there is hidden code.

To temporarily view folded code, hover over the plus sign that denotes a folded block. The folded code will be displayed in a floating block.

To unfold a block of code:

1. Click the plus sign.

2. The folded code will become visible again and the fold indicator will disappear.

To view the scope of a fold:

1. Hover over the minus sign.

2. A vertical line will be displayed from the first to the last line of the fold, indicating its range.

1. Place your cursor within the file.

2. If code folding is not available (no plus or minus signs are displayed in the marker bar), click Ctrl+Numpad_Divide.
