<![CDATA[Hide lines - how to show again?]]>The comand “Hide lines” (Alt+H) makes document lines disappear. These lines will then disappear without a trace. Line numbering skips them, so I guess they’re still there, just not accessible anymore. I’m not yet sure what this could be useful for.

But what is the inverse operation to this view option? How can I get those hidden lines back? I need to re-open the document to see them again.

Also, after pressing Alt+H, the cursor disappears as well. Is that intentional?

The first group remains hidden, with no little triangles in the margin to restore them.

Quite easy ! Just do ONE mouse LEFT click, on ONE of the TWO blue “chevrons”, in the Boomark margin :-))

Notes :

  • If NO part, of your current file, is selected, the View - Hide lines option ( or the ALT + H shortcut ) hides the CURRENT line only.

  • If a RECTANGULAR or NORMAL selection exists, it hides ALL the lines selected.

  • When some lines are PARTIALLY selected, ALL these lines are hidden.

  • If you select some lines, with the mouse, in the LINE NUMBER margin, it will hide ALL the SELECTED lines as well as the line, located just UNDER the selected block.

  • If some of the lines,hidden, were previously BOOKMARKED, they get back their blue circle mark(s), while clicking on a “chevron”, to get them visible again.

  • You can hide a bloc of lines, which already contains one or more hidden blocks. But, when you’ll click to get this last block visible, it will display ALL the lines of that block !

Best Regards,
