Organising/collapsing/pocketing code - suggestions?

[60-co]

Hello,

I’m a non-coder (outside of SC) using the regular SC IDE.
I want to share an idea for a tool I desire to have to help organise code. I know some people use multiple tabs (files), but I like to keep to one tab. Besides, as far as I know, ‘pockets’ offer greater potential for organisational logic, because they could be vertically arranged anywhere you want them. Ideally there could be pockets-within-pockets.

Here’s a mock-up:

Do any other IDEs for SuperCollider have this? If not, what can I do to achieve this? Looking for knowledge. Maybe I’m misunderstanding IDEs in general.

Do you mean ‘folding lines’ (code folding)?

@prko

The followings are on my wish list, but most of them might be not realisable, I think:

1. Folding and unfolding the code lines like Mathematica notebook and Jupyter notebook. This has been wished many times but not accepted because it needs too much time and effort. However, shortly this feature was supported under Windows. Was the version 3.5.x?

SC-IDE does not support it.
If you really need this feature, I think you should use vscode-sc-extension…

Thanks for this comment. Didn’t know about that thread. Good to know there’s a VS code extension that can do it… but I might have to start using tabs.

Yes, you can also split the editor windows.

Also, if you need an overview, you could do the following in index.scd in a folder:

"title 1.scd".resolveRelative.openDocument
"title 2.scd".resolveRelative.openDocument

Please take a close look at the image below (sorry for the Korean characters):

This is very helpful, it gives me an idea of how to approach using multiple tabs. Thanks!
