The folding in Kate isn't bound to a keyboard shortcut by default, but you can bind the
katepart > Toggle current nodeinsettings > configure keyboard shortcuts. It's also available via mouse on the left side.
Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks for another endorsement of Kate!
By the recommendation of others, I've actually installed and tried out Kate in the mean time.
So far, so good. 🙂
Ah okay, my apologies for not being clear enough!
While emacs and (neo)vim definitely fit the bill of CLI/TUI editors, I am open to GUI editors.
Thank you for allowing me to clarify myself!
Thank you for mentioning Kate! The GNOME-fanboy inside of me would probs like to resist it, but sometimes KDE's offering is strictly better^[I absolutely adore Okular.] at least IMO*. I'll look into it and see if it satisfies my needs.
It’s a GUI and not a TUI though. Not sure if that was a requirement as well
That wasn't a requirement. Regardless, thank you for the heads up!
Apologies for not being clear, and thank you for probing me to answer the right questions:
- I'm not married to Markdown or any other markup language, but it is true that Markdown makes up my primary use case.
- Though, with emacs installed, I've also dabbled into org-mode. And while I've been liking it so far, I understand that it's mostly an emacs thing.
- I suppose my current needs would mostly be fulfilled with Markdown + LaTeX.
Here’s Eclipse, for example.
Thank you for mentioning Eclipse! Will look into it!

This has a "text folding" and "code folding" column.
Wow, that's pretty neat! Very much appreciated!
Sorry, I don't understand. It seems others have already recommended text editors that probably fit the bill.
Perhaps my post was unclear or causing confusion? If so, please allow me to correct myself.
Hopefully it will receive it soon*; my Helix-installation has been collecting dust ever since the folding-workflow has been growing on me.
Mind elaborating?
And if GNOME is considered “not very customisable” in the linux world, KDE, Cinnamon, etc. must be even more customisable
It's more like GNOME doesn't come with a lot of customization options OOTB. You need extra tools -be it Tweaks, Extension Manager or the somewhat archaic Dconf Editor- to unleash the plethora of customization options in a palpable manner.
On the upside, GNOME's extensions do allow for extensive customization with 'ease'. Heck, this often goes beyond what other DEs are capable of (see e.g. PaperWM^[Which has inspired a full-blown WM in Niri.] or Material Shell^[For which Nicco, a KDE developer that also makes content on YouTube, said that its customization (likely) goes beyond what was possible on KDE Plasma at the time.]).
They don’t seem to give a shit about security. I think the well is poisoned.
Nah, I wouldn't go that far. That's like way too dramatic.
Best to just use apt
I will whenever apt doesn't (majorly) rely on backports for its security updates AND actually sandboxes its own packages. Zero Trust, FTW!
Ah okay, thanks for the clarification! I haven't delved deep into that aspect yet. But I've recently become aware of this unaddressed attack vector. And it is definitely something to worry about.
Unsure if it's solved anytime soon. But, if it is properly addressed and solved at some point in the future, would that (completely) redeem Flatpak's security model? Or, at least make it superior to what's found elsewhere?
Interesting. I will look into this. Thank you!
