I did the following but I must have done something wrong because it is
still not working.
in my .emacs I put
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'hs-minor-mode t) ;for block hide/show

in a .emacs-c++ file to be loaded from inside .emacs, I have
(local-set-key [f4] "\C-c @ \C-c") ;toggles block hide/show

restart emacs, when I open .cpp file, f4 does nothing.
