Remember hidden lines after unhiding

[Kris S.]

Greetings,

just your average notepad++ user here looking to make his life a little bit easier

is there any way to remember which lines were hidden and avoid the “chevrons” disappearing after unhiding them? (so you can easily click to unhide a given piece of text then click back to hide it again) example 1 and 2

ty for your time

@Kris-S.

well is there any particular plugin that could mayhaps offer a similar functionality or anything that allows lets say a specific page layout (with specified lines already hidden) to be loaded automatically as soon as the notepad++ file is opened?

I don’t know of a plugin doing this maybe someone else does.
Npp itself offers this functionality only if you use folding instead of hiding but
this means your document lexer needs to support this.

I’m currently thinking about a python script solution but this raises the question,
about the logic when to hide, which documents should be affected …
