Years ago I used Brief, ut then got completely hooked on the DOS version of MultiEdit . In the DOS world it was, for all intents and purposes, its own little IDE. Then Windows came along and MultiEdit went thataway.

One feature it had and that I loved was the ability to collapse a file (for quick navigation) using a function key based on user-defined customs strings. So, in function headers, I'd add a redundant function statement behind a custom comment string like "#*# function" then could hit <F4> and the file would collapse to just those comments. Move the cursor to the desired function, then hit <F4> to expand.

Maybe this is now a really common feature. Anyhow, can anyone recommend a Linux-capable editor/IDE that includes syntax highlighting for C, C++ and others and that includes a "collapse" capability (without having to build it myself in Emacs!).

Thanks!
