Undoing code folding

Answered

Created May 04, 2021 06:55

Hello,

Is there a way to enable undoing code folds (that is collapsing a section of code then uncollapsing it with CTRL+z) in the settings or through a plugin? The default behavior is that IntelliJ only includes text editions in the undo list, which is at times inconvenient.

Thanks.

Hi Yann,

How are you collapsing the code?

I am able to undo the collapsing in a Java file with Ctrl + Z if I just performed it with Ctrl + Num-.

Hi Arina,

I am doing pretty much the same thing. Here's a recording where I use Ctrl + (-) followed by Ctrl + z and it only brings my cursor to where it was before: https://vimeo.com/545040543

Thank you.

Looks like this feature is not supported in IntelliJ IDEA after all.

I found a similar request in our tracking system, a recent one at that:
