From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The following gif demonstrates folding:
Kate,kdevelop,xed,mousepad,gnome builder.,notepad next(clone notepad++)
That's a lot of options! Thank you.
There's also Zed. And helix.
Amongst all the other great alts here
Also neovim is really dope! Just have to throw that there
There’s also Zed.
Noted. Thank you!
And helix.
I believe this doesn't have folding (yet). Unfortunately.
Also neovim is really dope! Just have to throw that there
xD , Neovim is definitely pretty cool.
I use Zed as my primary editor these days. It’s just about ready for prime time!

On windows: Notepad++. On Linux-based OS: Kate. And there's also JetBrains Fleet, that is jetbrains answer to vscode.
Thank you!
I tested Notepad Next, which seems to be Notepad++' cross-platform alternative. However, I wasn't able to get the folding functionality on a Markdown file. Am I doing something wrong?
I've tried Kate since yesterday, it has been one of the better ones for now.
JetBrains Fleet seems like a cool project. But I'll probably wait until it's open sourced. Thanks anyways!
Kate is for Windows and Mac as well
Also notepad++ on wine on Linux ... Not my favorite but it's there
Yeah.. but why? Kate is better in about every way. And while we're on the topic, Kate is also available on the windows store, with a real Windows build.
Will probably get airstriked for this, but Zed is also a option.
Also, if you're using GNOME, then try GNOME builder. And if you're using KDE, then try KDevelop or Kate.
i’ve heard that some people love using kate because, with some plugins, it really can do all most people need. i’ve seen a dude make a video on it but would need some time to find it again if there was any interest.
tbf, i love zed and using it for big stuff and neovim for basic scripts is the perfect balance for me
If you don't want to go the Emacs or Vim routes, try Kate. Neovim is amazing but Kate is too from what I hear. Similar support for LSPs.
SublimeText?
Looks cool. Thanks!
Uhmm..., did I understand correctly that it's not open source?
Not op but no it's not.
Thank you for the clarification!
While I didn't mention it explicitly in the post, I do intend to stick to open source.
I remember something called lapce too

Others have given you many options, but I would like to know why Nvim or Emacs are not good options for you?
There's got to be a Micro plug-in for this.
WAIT, if I'm reading this right, it's had code folding since last year: https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/pull/2942
I'm gonna try this right now
You might have a look at LEO:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_(text_editor)
I used it extensively for some time to write big documentation. It is good.
But I'd guess that for most tasks, Emacs org-mode is the most powerful option.
