Hello! I would find it quite helpful if there was a way to do in the editor something similar to the Outlining -> Collapse to Definitions in Visual Studio. Is there any way to do it in WL6? I noticed it does the outlining correctly already, so, in the case of automatic collapsing not being available right now, can I request it to be added as a hot-key or context sensitive option in the future??

Thanks!

The editor is a 3rd party component developed by Quantum Whale:

Editor.NET

Could you please point me at the requested feature on their feature list? tia.

My request would fall under the "code outlining" feature, but it's a rather comprehensive feature, and what I was asking about is a small part of the outlining feature, so it doesn't necessarily has to be implemented in order for them to advertise the code outlining feature...

I thought the editor was developed in-house...so I suppose there is not a lot you could do to add new stuff to it... What I was looking for was an automated way to click on all the small "-" (minus) boxes in order to make the code more compact...

Unless I'm mistaken, Collapse to Definitions seems to be present (any Editor window > Options > Keyboard) but there's no way to activate it. Custom shortcuts and redefining the mapping scheme was disabled so not to interfere with Wealth-Lab's own keyboard shortcut set.

Yes, you are correct, I can find it there, but it won't work :(

I see some unused hotkeys in the WL reference (like, for example, Ctrl + N). Would it be simple for you to bind any of those hotkeys to the CollapseToDefinitions function that probably exist in the Editor.Net?

:D

You can choose to enter a support ticket to track the request, but no promises will be made. One voice won't count. :\

I could really use this specific feature as well - Has there been any update to this request specifically, or to enabling keyboard shortcuts in the Editor in general?

If you require more flexible code editing features than the Strategy Editor allows, your best bet is to use the free Visual Studio Community 2017 as shown in the KB article:

How can I debug my trading strategies in Wealth-Lab?

The great thing about this approach is that Edit & Continue (E&C) lets you edit your Strategy code on-the-fly while Wealth-Lab is running.

Although Collapse To Definitions (Ctrl-M,O) doesn't work, it's been possible to collapse/expand functions or classes. Disabled by default but can be activated in Editor Options > Advanced > Allow outlining.
