For now if we want to navigate and read the code we can follow the run step by step or use the Mark points to go up and down in the code, or you can follow the code and jump to label/SUB/FUnction/ or line of code by right mouse button and then coming back using the arrow at the top of window area of editor.
In different Editors/ IDE of language it is possible to collapse or expand single block of code (a SUB/FUNCTION or a SELECT CASE/ IF THEN ELSE END IF/ DO LOOP/ WHILE WEND/ FOR NEXT block)
Is this feature interesting or useful or void of real significance?
Thanks for feedbacks
I can't really speak to that because I don't have much experience with the IDE/editor side of things. I don't think there's any reason not to add it, but I'm not sure there's anybody really interested in trying to do it.
From a "serious" development standpoint I think the lack of multiple file support (beyond just opening multiple IDE instances) is a bigger issue, but that's probably even less likely to get fixed
Another consideration could be supplying configurations for other editors, maybe even completely pre-configured versions which make them easier to use with QB64. That certainly seems a lot more realistic in terms of time it would take, and would make it easier to move "beyond" the built-in IDE if your programs are starting to get a bit too large for it.
