Why should I use MrCode rather than Codium?

[micheartin]

I @zokugun I am using Codium and I love two of your extensions: theme-zokugun-vscode and vscode-explicit-folding. Thank you very much. ❤️ ❤️

I have read https://github.com/zokugun/MrCode/issues/3 and What's the difference? but I do not see any annoying behavior in my Codium usage that MrCode may fix. Please can you explain more? In what case I should use MrCode in lieu of Codium? Have you attempted to propose your fixes to Codium upstream?

@micheartin Hi, thank you. Glad you enjoy those extensions.

For Codium, I'm one of the maintainer so any fixes for Codium have already been pushed (It's how I became maintainer...) The main difference with Codium, it's using the Visual Studio Marketplace :see_no_evil:

It's about VSCode. I did submit some PR to fix some issues (specially for the explicit foldings, I don't like the language folding) but some got nowhere... So I've kept them in this custom build.

I will have to improve the What's the difference? section...

Thank you for maintaining Codium :+1: For the moment, I can live without the Visual Studio Marketplace: I do not code on a remote machine, and I limit myself to the extensions available at open-vsx.org

Hi, I also happened to be looking for extension/method/hack that allows me to have folding function within a line content, for example when using utility classes in html such as Tailwind css, the line gets bigger and bigger, making it difficult to read the code with some modern framework. It could be awesome to have something like this:

<div class="...">
      <div class="..."></div>
</div>

Also I found this git that demonstrate the action:

I don't know if this is achievable with MrCode, as it may require some API changing since such core function doesn't exist.

Thank you :)

EDIT: I have made a similar extension: Inline Fold
