Is it possible to get rid of the function folding margin on Notepad++? It seems like the sort of thing that should be in the prefs but I'm not seeing it anywhere.

In notepad++ v5.9.6.2 it's an option in the preferences. Under the "Editing" tab. They call it "Folder Margin Style". You can now select "none".
I think the more generic term for it is code folding.
I found someone else asking the same question on SourceForge
The solution is claimed to be:
If you go into langs.xml and comment out the Language tags for file extensions that you want, for me it's PHP, Perl and VBS, then restart Notepad++ and VOILA!!! No more annoying folder margins.
I hope it helps.
- Hmm. All that seemed to do was disable most of the syntax highlighting. The folding margin is still stubbornly stuck to the side of the window.izb– izb2009-08-24 14:15:38 +00:00Commented Aug 24, 2009 at 14:15
- Well it's hard to find any reference of what your asking for :-( I wonder if Notepad++ calls folding margin something else...Ivo Flipse– Ivo Flipse2009-08-24 15:38:32 +00:00Commented Aug 24, 2009 at 15:38
- 2There are no options for hiding the folding margin. You can only change the style of the folding margin, unfortunately.alex– alex2009-08-25 10:38:40 +00:00Commented Aug 25, 2009 at 10:38
You can add this macro to the Macros section of shortcuts.xml to make a shortcut Ctrl+Alt+H to hide the fold margin. I haven't yet found a way to make the macro auto-execute, so for now you just have to manually hide it for each buffer...
<Macro name="Hide Fold Margin" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="no" Key="83"> <Action type="0" message="2242" wParam="2" lParam="0" sParam="" /> </Macro> See also: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=Margins
Go to Settings ==> Preferences ==> Margins/Border/Edge
There you can see, "Folder Margin Style"==> Select "None"
