I wish Visual Studio Code could handle    region Function Write-Log Function Write-Log              endregion Function Write-Log   Right now Visual Studio Code just ignores it and will not collapse it  Meanwhile Notepad   and PowerGUI handle this just fine   Update  I just noticed an update for Visual Studio Code  This is now supported

As of version 1 3 1  2016-07-17   Block Collapse is much more convenient   Any line followed by an indented line will have a  -  character to allow collapse  If the block is collapsed  it will then be replaced by a     character that will open the collapsed block   The  Ctrl   Shift   Alt      will still affect all blocks  closing one level  Each repeated use closed one more level  The  Ctrl   Shift   Alt      works in the opposite way   Hooray  block collapse finally works usefully

If none of the shortcuts are working  like for me   as a workaround you can also open the command palette  Ctrl   3 or View -  Command Palette     and type in fold all

No technical tips here  just simple adjustments of the preferences of VsCode    I managed to show code folding controls always in VsCode by going to Preferences and searching for  folding   Now just select to always show these controls  This works with the  Typescript code and HTML of templates in the Angular 8 solution I tested it with    This was tested with VsCode Insiders 1 37 0 running on a Windows 10 OS
