I suggest you ...

Code folding in the code view. Please!

Although I use an indentation system that helps me organize and move around in code, code folding would really help with long pages, and when doing things like adding a wrapper to several extensive elements.

        OMG PLEASE ALREADY. Why is this even being voted on?? this should be added without a second thought. I dont know why they made ew3 n ew4 without it! All the VS products have this feature. It should be a given by now.

        I've just been working on a complex page with lots of divs and code folding would have been a huge help in debugging issues I was having. To be able to hide the ones I knew were OK and concentrate on the ones I wanted to work with. This is a scenario where code folding is invaluable.

        I wrote: Don't understand what code folding is, so do not have an opinion here.
        Have now read up on this, and it doesn't have my vote as I don't see that it would help me too much.

        Sounds like a worth while feature. Since I retrieved my vote for activate/deactivate, will use it here.

        "Code folding for HTML or for all languages?"

        Good point, Will. Yes, other languages could benefit as well, although I tend to work in other editors (which already have this feature) for PHP and ASP.NET, so it didn't occur to me to differentiate, or rather, to include them.

        To Tina, RE: "as long as I can have a open all selection as well," there is usually an "Expand All" and "Collapse All" icon, as you may see in tree view displays.

        I see ... in that case yes good idea, as long as I can have a open all selection as well ;)

        If you have a large div on page you could click the opening tag and have the div collapse so that you can see the rest of the page more easily. The same would apply to tables, spans etc.
