Code folding
Code folding is a feature of some IDEs allowing the user to collapse sections of a source code file while working in other parts of it. This allows a software developer to manage larger amounts of code within one window, without getting lost in a morass of complexity. A folding point is typically a method but can also be an entire class or even as small as an if-then-else block or comment section.
Recent versions of the open-source text editor Vim and the Java IDE Eclipse offer highly-configurable support for code folding. Microsoft's Visual Studio.NET offers code folding as well.
