When option-clicking on a code fold, I prefer the tool to recursively fold at all points contained in that tree. This allows you to quickly and easily see a map of say an object if you option-click the top element to fold it and then normal click to unfold at that top level without having the child folds expand.
Code Folding (recursive)
+1 for this feature. overviewing objects, classes, etc… is much simpler with recursive code folding… pls add this feature
I’m really looking for something like this. In PyCharm I got used to folding all my code with a shortcut (so that I have a nice overview of the code), and then fully unfold the class/function I want to work on.
With Atom half of this works (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+[ to fold everything), but unfolding is either only one level or everything in the entire file. I’m looking for a way to recursively unfold only the fold my cursor is in.
Something similar came up in a different thread about a year ago and I came up with a solution that I think will work for you. Put the following code in your init.coffee
. It will fold your entire editor and then recursively unfold levels until the row your cursor is on has been unfolded.
atom.commands.add 'atom-text-editor', 'custom:fold-all-except-current-row', (evt) ->
atom.commands.dispatch evt.target, 'editor:fold-all'
while atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor().isFoldedAtCursorRow() == true
atom.commands.dispatch evt.target, 'editor:unfold-current-row'
Filter lines containing string and be able to edit
Thanks! It won’t work for me as-is, since it folds everything except what I want to unfold and that’s not what I want (it shouldn’t touch anything except the thing I want to unfold). However, it does give me a good start to script something myself.
