[VSCode] Feature Request: No automatic folding/collapse of comments (*please vote* (20 needed))

[YkTru]

Hi,

I recently made a feature request for a command that would toggle whether comments are automatically folded/collapsed or not when navigating through the different levels, and it needs at least 20 upvotes for this feature to be considered; here's the link:

microsoft/vscode#208368 (comment)

This feature request is now a candidate for our backlog. The community has 60 days to upvote the issue. If it receives 20 upvotes we will move it to our backlog. If not, we will close it.

Here are some reasons why I think many F# developper would benefit from such a feature:

• In F#, it's common to have over 800 lines of code in a single file, and comments are often used to organize the code (until the creation of a module is required). The ability to navigate (fold/unfold) quickly and easily is also of the utmost importance, so I don't want to spend half my time manually unfolding comments since I often (in fact, almost all the time) switch to different levels of folding.

• eg: I find it quite annoying that in VSCode every time I "upfold" then "downfold" it automatically hides my one-line comments if I put them at the beginning of a module, or that my multiline comments (often containing important "todos", or "impl/design ideas") are folded by default.

• When working in a team, it's very useful to make sure that "todo" and other tags are immediately and at all time visible, otherwise they may go unnoticed.

• "Toggle fold for comments" would require only one command, giving us the choice to switch at any time depending on our present needs/workflow

Thank you all, I really hope it gets accepted
