Back in the NeXT days, Project Builder had the great and useful feature of being able to collapse blocks of code between curly braces. Oh, how I wish I could do this often. Any chance the Xcode team is thinking along these lines?

The brace used to get a light rectangle to the right of it, representing an expandable block of code. Double clicking on it expanded the code, then double-clicking on the brace (I think) re-collapsed it.

(Pardon if this has already been discussed. I just joined the list and didn't find talk about this in the archives and it doesn't look like this list is searchable yet.)


I don't know how about accessing this feature, but I can tell you what I do...

I use the split-pane feature of the editor so that I can independently "scroll braces together"; this helps me align long blocks of code.

Of course, the purist would tell us that code blocks shouldn't be unmanageable enough so as to really require any collapsing capability... :)
