A cool addition to the folding would be to draw some form of connector between the start of the fold and the end, not in the margin, but actually within the code, then not only do you get an indication of which folding markers belong together, you also get a nice indication of where ifs and loops end, which if they are very long is quite tricky, (even if the indenting is correct). The Actionscript editor SEPY does something like this, but it runs like crap on the Mac.

I prefer to have such ideas served with mockups! ;)
Kind regards Allan

I believe jEdit does the same thing but in the gutter. It does not, however, connect to folding or maybe I just didn't configure it right to do so. The connector idea is a good one.
