The code-folding keystrokes do absolutely nothing in Turbo Delphi. Bizarre. The code-folding keystrokes do absolutely nothing in Turbo Delphi.

I tried the code-folding keystrokes and they seem to work. ???

Nice website.

I've updated the post to reflect them. <br> <br>I've also actually *tried* them, and none of the code-folding keystrokes do a darned thing. I've updated the post to reflect that, as well...

Ctrl+Shift K+C Collapses all classes

Ctrl+Shift K+M Collapses all methods

Ctrl+Shift K+N Collapses namespace/Unit

Ctrl+Shift K+P Collapses nested procedures

Ctrl+Shift K+R Collapses all regions

Also noteworthy for some:

Ctrl+Shift K+O Toggles between enabling and disabling Code Folding

2nd note: Delphi 2007’s help files for these seem to have been copied as is from BDS 2006 as they too miss those keys you mention in that QC report…

Case in point: Ctrl-Alt-P should be displayed when you hover over the Filter icon above the tool palette - it took me ages to work it out after I saw somebody using it in a demo.

You may find others you've missed as well. Here is the chart: <br> <br><a target="_new" href="http://www.stevetrefethen.com/wiki/Keybinding%20Information.ashx" rel="nofollow">http://www.stevetrefethen.com/wiki/Keybinding%20Information.ashx</a> <br> <br>I also mention a number of keystrokes related to code completion in this video which you might find useful: <br> <br><a target="_new" href="http://www.stevetrefethen.com/files/codecompletion.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.stevetrefethen.com/files/codecompletion.html</a> <br> <br>As for the code folding keys I'll look to add those to my chart. <br> <br>The likely reason something like Ctrl+Shift+K T was used is because we're pretty much out of short key combinations. Personally, I _never_ use code folding and I imagine we haven't heard much about it's keyboard support because most people don't use it either. Regardless, perhaps it's time to refactor some of the lesser used ones. Hey Joe,

I also mention a number of keystrokes related to code completion in this video which you might find useful:
