How to NOT collapse brackets when re-open the do files

[Long Hong]

Hi all,

I am writing to ask a quick question on using the brackets "{ }" in Stata. I want to use it to hide a large intermediate code in a do file, but it always unhides every time I re-open the do file.

Example:

sysuse auto, clear
scalar step1 = 0
scalar step2 = 1

if step1 == 1 {
       reg price headroom
       reg price headroom
       reg price headroom
       reg price headroom
       reg price headroom
​​​​​​​       reg price headroom
}

if step2 == 1 {
       sum price
}

In the example, I would like to hide step 1 every time I re-open the do file. Thanks!!

Best,
Long

Select all (CTRL-a)
CTLR+SHIFT+f //hotkey for folding

Thanks, George! I tried what you suggested, but it does not fold the code (in both Mac and Windows computers)... I wonder if I need to pre-set anything before using the hotkey. Thanks!

You using 18? It works for me.
