Use this page to specify the default code folding settings. For shortcuts on how to expand or collapse code elements, refer to the code folding section.

Select this checkbox if you want the code folding icons to be shown in the gutter. Clear the checkbox to hide the icons.

Show code folding arrows

Display code folding icons in the editor.

From the list, select the way in which the icons for unfolded areas should be displayed:
