Does VSCode support gdscript (V4) code-folding?

I see there's a VSCode Plugin for Godot 4, and it has a list of features. However, none of those features have the word "code-folding" in it, so I'm guessing it doesn't? Would like to figure this out before installing VSCode (I'm a major Jetbrains fan, personally).

Sadly, Jetbrains has let me down with their new Rider IDE - yeah, it supports Godot, sort of - but it doesn't have code-folding, which I consider kinda important. Worse - reading some of the tickets/issues I've seen on the subject, I got the impression that it's an issue with the Godot engine or LSP, so it might not be possible to do it in Rider/VSCode, without the LSP changing. Anyone know the actual issue?

I just tried the VSCode (Visual Studio Code) extension godot-tools 2.3.0 with VSCode 1.96.2 on Ubuntu 24.04, and it does support code-folding for GDScript. I tested it with a script from a Godot 4.4 project.

I normally don't use VSCode for editing Godot scripts. I installed that extension only to answer your question. I don't know how well the extension works otherwise.

There are a number of other VSCode extensions for Godot, but I haven't used any of them.

DaveTheCoder Thanks, I appreciate the info, and the experiment. I may have to try VSCode, then. And now I don't see any reason why Jetbrains Rider doesn't support it. So it goes.

So do you just use the regular Godot editor for code-editing? Or something other than VSCode?

DaveTheCoder

Yes, I use the regular Godot editor for editing Godot scripts.

I began using VSCode because it was used in an online Flutter course that I took. After I finished the course, I could have switched back to Android Studio, which I previously used for Flutter, but I like VSCode and chose to stick with it. Also, I'm planning on exporting to multiple platforms (both Android and iOS), which is why I'm using Flutter, and VSCode supports that.
