JSDoc Comment Folding In VSCode

Question

Is there a way to fold JSDoc-style comment blocks in VSCode v1.25 for JavaScript files? I get normal code collapse offered, but comment blocks seem excluded. Is there a keyboard shortcut that would collapse code even without the GUI handlebars showing?

Answer 1

I had the same issue, and fixed it by doing this:

Go to File -> Preferences -> Settings and change the following entry from auto to indentation

"editor.foldingStrategy": "indentation"

Now JSDoc comments are folding as expected, hope this works for you as well!

Answer 2

{
  "key": "ctrl+k ctrl+/",
  "command": "editor.foldAllBlockComments",
  "when": "editorTextFocus"
}

will fold block comments, like jsdoc. But I don't see a command for specifically unfolding (all or just) )block comments. But you can use:

{
  "key": "ctrl+shift+]",
  "command": "editor.unfold",
  "when": "editorTextFocus"
}

o do that when cursor is on that line of folded jsdoc comment.
