VSCode Import Folding

[TylerYep]

Currently, there is no way to collapse a large page of Python imports because VSCode's default folding is indentation-based.

However, there should be a way to create a custom folding rule so that Python imports at the top of the page can be collapsed.

Ideally, there would also be a setting to automatically collapse imports whenever a python file is opened.

Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion! We have marked this issue as "needs decision" to make sure we have a conversation about your idea. We plan to leave this feature request open for at least a month to see how many 👍 votes the opening comment gets to help us make our decision.

@karthiknadig this is standard behavior for IntelliJ and for VSCode-GoLang.

@greazer, @joyceerhl, @rchiodo I think this is a good issue to put on editor roadmap.

Region is quite nice and easy to extend (configuration based)
So you can do:

#region imports <- This is foldable
from functools import lru_cache
#endregion

I wasn't able to get this to work with Python (works fine for me with JS with the provided config example, though). What's your config for it for Python?

It should be working by default:

@melMass i don't want to install any third party extensions and modify the code in order to achieve pretty standard functionality - import folding, so that's why i'm raising this as a feature request

I was answering to HappyCuppy.

Import folding is now working on the latest release of Pylance. The only missing bit is supporting a setting to automatically do it for Python files.

And I just found out we actually respect "editor.foldingImportsByDefault": true. When you flip it for the first time you may need to wait a bit for the Python and Pylance extensions to activate and do its magic, but it works 😊

Thank you!! This is so awesome :)
