      I could get lines hidden by selecting them, right clicking and choosing the option “Hide lines”, but how can I make it permanent?

      After I’ve hidden some lines, if I relaunch the same document, those lines are no longer hidden.

      I have a long script file which I edit from time to time, and its annoying to use the search function every time to go to a certain line. It would be nice to keep hidden lines hidden, any ideas?

        As mentioned before, the Hide Lines feature is not the greatest.

        But, it seems like it may be possible to script something to save/restore the state of your hidden lines. You mentioned Pythonscript in one of your other posts, so it seems like you have some knowledge of scripting…

          It was a referral to an already existing script. Am much of an amateur actually. From what you are saying there isn’t any configuration which am overlooking that can do this?

              you could file a feature request, to save hidden line sections within the session.
              (the session is where all opened documents are remembered, to reopen the same files after a notepad++ restart)

              if you would like to file a feature request, please follow our official notepad++ community guide over here: FAQ Desk: Feature Request or Bug Report.

              note: there are currently very, very many feature requests open, so it is not sure if it would be implemented, and if it would, it usually takes a long time, unless it is urgent or there are too many requests for that.

                I’m with you on this one. I would love to see this implemented.
