Hello,
some years ago I saw a very good feature in the GFA-Basic-Editor.
The editor was able to collapse and expand the source code body of a function, so you only can see the head (function name and parameter list).
So you can open the function, you are just working on and have a good code overview at the same time.
Another good feature would be to move a marked part of the code at once with the tabulator and the backspace button (or some nice icons).
What do you think about this features. If you like, please support this wishlist and send an email to the editor programmer.

to indent/unindent a selected portion of code, use shift/ctrl/i and shift/ctrl/u, or the menu options (yes, I look at the menus too <g>)
also, you can comment/uncomment a section of code with ctrl/alt/. and ctrl/alt/,
very handy features.
the function collapse sounds like a good idea, if implimented right, if done wrong it could be a nightmare.. I've used several editors that put the functions in seperate windows a-la quickbasic, never did like that approach. If it's done it, you should be able to disable it if you don't want it.

An IDE that works with the MinGW compiler (same compiler Dev-Cpp works with) and offers code folding can be found at www.parinya.ca.
The environment is very much like MS DevStudio.
You can also check out www.thefreecountry.com which has links to and a brief synopsis of hundreds or freely available compilers, editors, IDEs, libraries, etc...
