Hm. I wasn't aware of hs-minor-mode. But I've often used set-selective-display (C-x $), which hides all lines that are indented more than ARG columns (and un-hides them if you don't give an argument). But to fulfill the specific request of moving up to the top of a given block, there's also a `python-beginning-of-block' command in python-mode (bound to C-c C-u). If you set the mark (C-SPC) before you do python-beginning-of-block, then you can use `C-x C-x' or `C-u SPC' to jump back where you were. -- Don't be afraid to ask (Lf.((Lx.xx) (Lr.f(rr)))). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
