gedit plugin -- add optional code folding

[Susan Cragin]

Binary package hint: gedit-plugins

This is a wishlist item.
Gedit has a nice python plugin that allows for code folding. I wish it were available as part of the standard Ubuntu plugins package. I don't even code. I want folding to make outlines, lists, etc.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

This is still an issue. There is still no code folding.
This was not really a bug, and should have been transferred to the wishlist.
but code folding would be very nice as a plugin, and not that hard to achieve, I don't think.
scite has it.
