Description gborkowski 2007-05-17 08:51:44 UTC 
For a long time, NetBeans editor allows to fold only methods and JavaDocs.
It would be useful to have ability to collapse if/while/for blocks (useful
especially when they are very long).

Yes, we need this feature too with Java / PHP (if/while/for/foreach/elseif/else if/else...)... if it is possible, the
ability to change change / add code-folding for keywords by user (maybe at config file?) would be great.
Comment 3 gborkowski 2009-09-10 10:17:55 UTC 
For me, it is especially missing in JavaScript editor now. 
I prefer to use NetBeans over other editors (like Eclipse) for Javascript, because NB has really greate code completion
tools for Javascript. 
However when you use ExtJS framework, the code has tendency to contain more and more nested configuration object
literals, inlined functions etc. Lack of ability of collapsing such declarations is a pain. This is really really really
needed!

Please add this feature, it is very useful and is already in Eclipse and VS
