Collapse Defs

Collapses all function or method blocks in your code using customizable regex patterns.

🚀 Usage

• Run the command: Collapse All Function Blocks
• Or use the shortcut: Ctrl+K Ctrl+Shift+{

This command folds all top-level function definitions in the current file based on the active language.

⚙️ Configuration

You can override fold patterns per language via settings.json:

"collapseDefs.foldPatterns": {
  "python": "^\\s*def\\s+\\w+\\s*\\(.*\\)\\s*:",
  "cpp": "^(?!\\s*(if|else|for|while|switch|do|try|catch|namespace|class|struct|union)\\b)[\\w:<>&\\*,=\\s]+\\s+[\\w:<>&\\*,=\\s]+\\s*\\(.*\\)\\s*(const)?\\s*\\{"
}

The keys are language IDs (e.g. "python", "cpp", "javascript"), and the values are regex strings used to detect function headers.

If no override is provided, built-in patterns will be used for common languages.

🧠 Tips

• Only multi-line blocks are folded. One-liners are ignored by design.
• Works with any language — just supply a valid regex!
• Matches are logged in the output panel under Collapse Defs.
