New submission from George Zhang <geetran...@gmail.com>:
Congrats on adding line numbers to IDLE.
With this change, a change to add code folding could be done more easily as the
folding can reference the line numbers. Many other IDEs have code folding but
IDLE should also have it.
Code folding could be done with a +/- to the right of the line numbers and can
show/hide the indented suite under the header (compound statements). It should
use indentation as tool to figure out which parts can be folded. Blank lines
don't count. Single line compound statements cannot be folded.
Something like this:
1 - | def spam(ham):
2 - | if ham:
3 | eggs()
4 |
5 + | def frob():
8 |
9 - | FOO = (
10 | 1, 2, 3, 4,
11 | 5, 6, 7, 8,
12 | )
13 |
14 | BAR = (
17 | )
18 |
19 | if True: print("True")
20 |
