Rust, IntelliJ, code folding across buffer open/closes

I am using IntelliJ + Rust plugin.

I'm staring to miss code folding (something like, say, Folding | Vim Tips Wiki | Fandom )

I want the open/close to be manually toggled and to persist across buffer open/closes. This implies it needs to add/remove comments, which I'm okay with.

Does anyone have a working setup for this?

Works out of the box with region/endregion comments:

// this works:
// region ...
...
// endregion ...

// this does not work:
// asdf ...
...
// endasdf ...

Can you point me to where this is documented? I'm interested to see what other related features are.

Good question! I love IntelliJ, however I find it's documentation abundant but mostly useless for learning stuff. This behavior is mentioned in passing here Write and edit source code | IntelliJĀ IDEA (TIL, there's "surround with" action for this), but I personally have learned about this when reading source code of IntelliJ itself...

lol. This was my exact experience trying to write a custom plugin -- got no where with the documentation, did a git clone of the community edition src, and started grepping through it to understand the types.
