Cursor Folding

A VSCode extension that makes a quick and easy way to fold what you want relative to your cursor.

All Commands

Here is a list of commands available with default keybinds. If you wish to customize keybinds, press Ctrl + Shift + P (open command list shortcut) and enter for Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (UI). Using the keybind search, type Cursor Folding or cursor-folding. to see available keybinds and change them to whatever.

Note: A lot of the commands use the <grave> key `; if you have trouble seeing the key, it's probably the grave key.
