Code Folding - Microcode Studio Wish

This is a Microcode Studio "Wish" but I will put it here as there is no specific Microcode Studio forum; the link in the program points you to this forum.

Code folding would be a useful tool especially for large programs. I use this extensively in Visual Basic and it really helps to locate sections of code quickly.

I sent an email to Mecanique (producers of Microcode Studio) but they said that they have no plans to incorporate it at the moment.

Would anyone else find this functionality useful?

Yes I would actually. Great idea. Especially now that I am coding a micro with 128k program space!

With the size of some of the code that we do today, I think code folding is becoming a must because jumping back and forth is a real nightmare sometimes.

I think you should really consider adding this feature in any future release.

in meantime you can do it in MPLAB with using ;{ and ;}

For larger program MPLAB is probably a bit much handy due to debugging capability. Yeah a bit tricky to understand it, but so far handy once you catch it.

I've thought about using MPLAB as the editor before but Microcode Studio is just so much easier to use. Thanks for the advice I'll give it a go.

It would be nice if this could be incorporated into Microcode Studio though.

Cheers
