Highlight functions in Visual Studio Code like NetBeans

Question

What I need to have is demonstrated in the following two screen shots, where first one from NetBeans IDE 8.2 and the second from VSCode 1.17.2.

I typically wants to have the white highlight,on the left, line appears in the NetBeans IDE to be found, or something like it, in VSCode.

I have tried the following setting:

"editor.showFoldingControls": "always",

I also tried to search for any plugins about folding and code highlight but I could not able to determine which one is suitable to perform this visual effect on code highlighting.

Answer 1

useful with --> Ctrl + Shift + \ Jump to matching bracket

Answer 2

There is no visual indicator in the gutter portion of the editor in VSCode.
That was requested in Microsoft/vscode issue 25132 or issue 19690, closed in favor of issue 60670 and PR 77363: "Add folding from end of region", which was never merged.

For now, VSCode 1.42 (Q1 2020) proposes "Folded region highlighting"

Folded code regions are now easier to discover with the addition of a background highlight.

The feature is controlled by the setting editor.foldingHighlight and the color can be customized with the color editor.foldBackground.

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  "editor.foldBackground": "#355000"
}

That means those functions (which are foldable) are easier to spot.

From there:

• Shift + Click once on the folding indicator to first fold the inner ranges.
• Shift + Click again (when all inner ranges are already folded) will fold the parent.
• Shift + Click again unfolds all.
