Bug 464766

Description Sean McPoland 2015-04-16 03:58:03 EDT

Hi there,

Been looking to fold code at a more granular level than just methods etc. in various languages.

code samples that would be worth folding are

   for(){}, while(){}, if(){} etc.  

Not just for Java though, for JavaScript and all other languages that are supported by Eclipse.

Now, I understand that this would be near impossible to do for every language because of the language syntax etc.  however, I have seen this thing called "Coffee Bytes" which implements "User Specified folding".

I propose as an enhancement this plug-in (I can't get it to work in 4.4.2 despite others saying it will), or a Eclipse written version, be incorporated into Eclipse itself.

I don't mind if the new enhancement is just the "User specified" portion, where we could specif our own brackets {\ \} for example, this would be just brilliant.

Many thanks for the consideration,
