How to fold / collapse selected code in Eclipse & ABAP Development Tools

[Vlad_Ghitulescu]

Hello!

How do you fold / collapse a selected part of your code in the editor window in Eclipse & ABAP Development Tools?

I don't want to fold only the part specific to a statement (IF, WHILE etc.) that's already marked by a + sign in a circle but a portion of the code that I select (with the mouse or the cursor and the arrow keys).

Any idea?

Thanks!

Regards,
Vlad

It's possible with some editors in Eclipse, but unless you see the option in the context menu, I don't think it's available in the ABAP editor.

I didn't find it in the context menu unfortunately 😞

Then it probably isn't possible. You could try asking on an eclipse specialist forum.

I didn't know that something like this exists! Do you have a link?

[matt]

Sure. www.google.com

I thought you speak about an ADT-specific, SCN-hosted forum that I accidentally overseen.

Ok, I'll google it.

That's why I said "eclipse", not "adt" 🙂

Yeah, would be nice if we had this! 🙂

I didn't dare to ask about it (I already ask too much 😉 but yes, it's totally different organized than one would normally expect: I wasn't able to find a dedicated forum for ADT or a dedicated tag (Eclipse come with BW SAP HANA Modeling Tools as a prefix - there's nothing I do now, while using Eclipse! & no tag at all for ADT), or at least a detailed search where one can filter only ADT or similar.
