IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Allow Expanding or Collapsing Code Sections

Rational Developer for IBM i provides the ability to find the beginning and ending of conditional statements by using Ctl-M (Highlights the entire section of code) or Ctl-Shft-M (Toggle from the start to the end of the section of code).

It would be GREAT if RDi would use '+' and '-' to expand/collapse those same sections of code like many other IDE's.

This is much cleaner looking and you do not loose the prior highlighted selection like you do now when you do the Ctl-M or Ctl-Shft-M for another section of the code.


Use Case:

Working with nested conditional statements, the ability to collapse or expand sections of code so you can focus strictly on those sections. The outline feature provides some but does not provide the ability to start at the first level of a collapsed conditional statement and expand downward or the reverse of collapsing from the inner sections to the outer sections.
