Code folding can be done in the Inspector under Preview to help you navigate. There are other editors that do code folding as well.

That said, I still don't understand why this makes any sense for a plugin? If you want to use an editor inside Sigil you can take the python code you wrote and tweak it only slightly to accept a filename or path in main and create standalone python code and launch it with "open with" from inside Sigil without every having to launch a plugin.

So I am confused, in what way does a plugin need a gui editor that can't be handled by "open with" inside of Sigil.
