Fold selected code in intellij

How can I fold an arbitrary block of code in intellij?

I know there is the cmd+. shortcut, but that only works if the selection is within a single line.

Press Strg+A (search for action) and search for Fold Selection. My shortcut is Ctrl+.. I don't know if this is the default short cut for that action.

This will fold your selection. If there is no selection, the surrounding code block will be folded.

Cmd + '.', or on Windows Ctrl + '.' shortcut indeed folds and unfolds selected block of code. If no code is selected, it folds the method in which the cursor is placed.

When you have cursor inside a method, you can fold/unfold entire method by Ctrl + '+'/Ctrl + '-'. The extensions of this combination are Ctrl + Shift + '+' and Ctrl + Shift + '-', which fold/unfold all methods and comments in active file.
