A while back the question was asked whether there were other features that were desired that could possibly be included in the JessDE editor.
At that time the thought of folding came to mind, but I was somewhat ambivelant about the benefit it would provide. I was reading this article on the Eclipse group this morning (http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Folding-in-Eclipse-Text-Editors /folding.html), and I began to convince myself that it might be a good idea after all. Many of my .clp file contain lots of rules, and it would be nice to be able to fold all rules and then just unfold those rules I am interested in. It would also be nice to be able to fold multi-line comments, and might even encourage the inclusion of them (...probably not, but seemed worth suggesting that it might ;)). *I* would use it. :) Another thought would be folding the new (require) directives which are often necessary, but provide little value once defined (i.e. they rarely change). The java editor does a similar trick with import directives. One feature that doesn't seem to be supported by even the Java editor is the ability to select multiple lines and fold. I'm not sure this is possible, or even a good idea, but my thought was that if you are interested in two disparate sections of code in a single file, you could select everything in between and fold it out of the way. Would there be a benefit to folding either the LHS or RHS of a rule? Just my thoughts, any comments? -Mitch -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
