I'm new to Python, and I'm trying to fold my code in a way that's similar to regular Visual Studio with C#.

In VS, you can press Ctrl+M, Ctrl+O to fold all methods and #regions, and then press Ctrl+M, Ctrl+P to unfold.

VS Code has a similar feature with Ctrl+K, Ctrl+0 and Ctrl+K, Ctrl+J. However, this feature folds a lot of the contents of the functions, like if/else statements.

EDIT: Looking at the attempted answers on the duplicate question, I think the correct answer is simply that it isn't possible to fold Python code to only the function names.

  • this question has been asked before, so I've closed it. unfortunately, the dup target doesn't have any correct/accurate answers (and was even wrongly closed as a duplicate). you'll need to wait for someone to give it a proper answer. Commented Mar 29, 2024 at 8:48
  • @starball The question has been asked, but as you said, it has a bunch of incorrect answers. If a person finds that thread on google like I did, they'll end up wasting time reading through a bunch of answers that don't really work. If that's the case, then I think the correct answer is "it isn't possible to do this." Commented Mar 29, 2024 at 12:14

    fyi, I'm planning to write a correct answer to the dup-target. As part of that, I've reached out to a maintainer about the status of a related issue ticket and am waiting on their reply. Commented Mar 30, 2024 at 7:57

If you are familiar with #region you can still use this tag in vscode.

You could add #region and #endregion before and after the code that needs to be folder, such as:

# region
print("HelloWorld")

#endregion

enter image description here

You can manually click on the arrows, or use the shortcuts ctr+8 and ctrl+9 to collapse or expand.

I don't see how this answers the question. this just adds more folding regions. the asker is looking for an efficient way to toggle folding of a specific subset of all types of folding regions.
