I've seen that before in other editor, but I don't really see the
point. If you want to see the code simply click the [+]. It's no extra
effort... You already have to move the mouse over the [...], so you
can just as well move it over the [+] and click. That way you get the
correct syntax highlighting and if you want to edit or scroll the
code, it is already visible.

Nevertheless, the [...] would be very handy. I have been trying to
implement it for the last hour. The synedit code is just way to
complicated for me to understand and figure out in a short time. :-(
I have screwed up my Lazarus editor a few times in my attempts.
Luckily I made a backup of my executable before I started hacking
away. :-)
