emacs needs to have a code folding feature

[The Directory]

Hi:

Emacs needs to have a code-folding feature.

Also, Emacs needs to have a parenthesis/bracket/curly-brace highlighting to highlight a PAIR of them when the 
cursor is on or next to one of them.

Emacs needs to have a mode-selection pull-down menu in its GUI.

Emacs needs to have a pull-down menu for compiler selection, like in Vim.

Thanks,
plz reply,

exists, too, check the menu.

I've written that for Aquamacs. It displays "New Buffer" and "Change  
Buffer Mode" (what this means is: change major mode) submenus in  
"File", with the most recent used major modes at the top, and a fixed  
but configurable list of major modes at the bottom.

If you'd like to take the code and produce a patch, we can submit it  
so Emacs gets it, too.

And q10 needs to have a real name and a proper e-mail server. That's  
not even a good nick.

This might be easier to achieve. I have just this customisation:

	 '(blink-matching-paren-on-screen t)
	 '(show-paren-mode t)


A bit further goes mic-paren.el, which highlights the whole region  
between matching braces.

(require 'paren)
(show-paren-mode 1)

HTH,

PS: before starting suggestions with "Emacs needs to have", please check
that the requested feature doesn't exist already.  If you can't find it,
it's safer to assume that 1) it's somewhere but you don't know where or
2) the feature might not be a good idea.

   Emacs needs to have a code-folding feature.

or, perhaps we can 'pine some screeds
'bout what It lacks and what It needs.
on a balanced diet of parens It feeds;
beware Its sow/kow/tow/throwing seeds!
