Visual Studio for Mac how to collapse regions and methods

Question

I couldn't find a way to collapse/expand regions and sections from Visual Studio for Mac.

If someone could share how to do that, it would be very useful.

You need to go to Preferences >> Text Editor >> General as on the image below and you will see Code Folding area.

You can check whatever you need and you will see code folding blocks in your code.

on regular VS i used to "CTRL+M+O" to collapse all... is there a bind on VS for mac? – Leonardo Feb 07 '19 at 17:57
on mine (VS for Mac 8.8.10) it is shift + option + command + [. That toggles all collapse it isn't exactly the same as it is in VS on Windows. – Sean Mar 02 '21 at 21:20

For VS for Mac, Menu > Edit > Outlining...

Click a menu selection.

Note - Your cursor has to be clicked inside a code file before you nav to menu item or they will be grayed out.
