With snappyFold, you can easily manage and navigate large files by folding sections using flexible and user-defined tags.

Features

• Dynamic Folding Markers: Supports an arbitrary number of folding markers based on dynamic tags.
• Language-Specific Markers:
  • Python: Uses # ##name for start tags and # name for end tags.
  • JavaScript/TypeScript: Uses // ##name for start tags and // name for end tags.
• Nested and Overlapping Sections: Handles overlapping and nested folding regions correctly.

Installation

2. Go to the Extensions view by clicking on the Extensions icon in the Activity Bar on the side of the window.

Usage

1. Add Folding Tags: Insert start and end tags in your files according to the language:

   • Python: # ##sectionName and # sectionName
   • JavaScript/TypeScript: // ##sectionName and // sectionName

2. Fold Sections: Use the default VS Code folding commands (Ctrl + K Ctrl + 0 to fold all, Ctrl + K Ctrl + J to unfold all) or the folding controls in the editor gutter to manage folding regions.
