Created attachment 177414 [details]
A visual example of code folding from notepad++ for your reference

Please add code folding to the macro editor.

Code folding is the ability to collapse portions of the code to both unclutter and speed up the code editing process by hiding the portions of code you aren't working on.

for instance:
sub realylongsub()
...
;;;;
...
---
end sub

sub nextsub

when folded, becomes
+sub reallylongsub()

sub nextsub()
...
end sub.

image of an example as seen in notepad++ are included as an example.

+1, and might be able to reuse some of the work needed for SB outline folding done for Writer?

Sure, that's a mandatory feature in nowadays IDEs.
