In NotePad++ how can I copy and paste everything inside a "+" section?

In notepad++ you can collapse code blocks with the "+" button.... how can I collapse a large code block, copy it, then in a new file, collapse a large code block, and then replace the entire code block with the copied one?

Thanks!

You can not do this in a one step. But here is a workaround for this. While in the shrink state (with + is in place) Right click immediately after the + and in the popup menu click Begin/End Select. Then Right click at the beginning of the next line again and click Begin/End Select. This will select the text between two positions. Now copy the content by pressing Ctrl-C and repeat the same procedure to select the text to be overwritten. Then press Ctrl-V to paste the text. enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here
