Collapse Roxygen Blocks

It would be useful to be able to collapse Roxygen code blocks much like we can collapse code blocks and function definitions.

I agree, that would be nice. I think feature requests can be made as an issue on their GitHub page here: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues

When posting feature requests, it's also a good idea to take a look at: RStudio IDE Guide: Writing Good Feature Requests to make your request maximally useful to the developers!

Turns out there's already a request along these lines:

Folding roxygen2 comments

I'm using _roxygen2_ to document my packages. A feature of _roxygen2_ is that th…e roxygen comments must be in the same file as the function they are documenting. This adds clutter to my code, especially when I have multiple functions and roxygen documentation comments in the same .R file. I'm wondering if it would be possible to have code folding operate on roxygen comment blocks so they can be folded away and thereby not clutter the scripting workspace. I'm imagining it would work similar to how folding occurs around `{...}`, where the open brace marks the beginning of a folding section, but instead a roxygen comment would be the indicator. If implemented, it would be nice if the Folding option in the Edit dropdown would include these folded elements as well. Thank you!

You can help out by adding more information about your use case (if it seems relevant), or just register support with an emoji reaction .
