Collapse all methods in Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio-CodeKeyboard ShortcutsShortcutVisual Studio-Code Problem Overview
In Visual Studio Professional, we have a shortcut key, Ctrl + M Ctrl + O to collapse all methods and properties in a class. How can I do a similar thing in Visual Studio Code?
I know there are shortcut keys like Ctrl + Shift + [, but this does not meet the needs.
Is it possible to get the Visual Studio Professional-like behaviour in Visual Studio Code?

The beauty of Visual Studio Code is
> Ctrl + Shift + P
Hit it and search anything you want.
In your case, hit Ctrl + Shift + P and type fold all.
Solution 5 - Visual Studio-Code
Solution 6 - Visual Studio-Code
Ctrl+K, Ctrl+1 and then Ctrl+K, Ctrl+2 will do close to what you want.
The first command collapses level 1 (usually classes), and the second command collapses level 2 (usually methods).
You might even find it useful to skip the first command.
Solution 7 - Visual Studio-Code
Use Ctrl + K + 0 to fold all and Ctrl + K + J to unfold all.
Solution 8 - Visual Studio-Code
Collapse All is Fold All in Visual Studio Code.
Press Ctrl + K + S for All Settings. Assign a key which you want for Fold All. By default it's Ctrl + K + 0.
Solution 9 - Visual Studio-Code
You should add user settings:
{
"editor.showFoldingControls": "always",
"editor.folding": true,
"editor.foldingStrategy": "indentation",
}
Solution 10 - Visual Studio-Code
I recently made an extension for collapsing C# code to definitions since I was also missing that feature from Visual Studio. Just look for "Fold to Definitions" and you should find it, or just follow this link.
The repository is public, so you can easily inspect the extension.ts
file and adapt it to other languages. It is nowhere near perfect, but it does the job. It uses regular expressions to find methods, properties, and classes, and then moves the selection to those lines and executes a fold command.
Solution 11 - Visual Studio-Code
To collapse methods in the Visual Studio Code editor:
- Right-click anywhere in document and select "format document" option.
- Then hover next to number lines and you will see the (-) sign for collapsing method.
NB.: As per the Visual Studio Code documentation, a folding region starts when a line has a smaller indent than one or more following lines, and ends when there is a line with the same or smaller indent.
