Makes me wonder, how it integrates, with the ability to configure which 
mouse button triggers which action

Also the code to do it already exist (Synedit line 6236) for the 
keyboard shortcut:
>       EcFoldCurrent:
>         begin
>           CY := FFoldedLinesView.ExpandedLineForBlockAtLine(CaretY);
>           if CY > 0 then begin
>             FFoldedLinesView.FoldAtTextIndex(CY-1);
>             SetCaretXY(Point(1, CY));
>           end;
>         end;

Lastly, this can be done already via the context menu too (contextmenu 
over the foldline)

=> The idea for such a shortcut is good, need to think about if this is 
done in a good way currently....

         with fTextDrawer do
           if MarkupInfo = nil

what if markup onfo is assigned, but doesnt change the bg color? (leaves 
it to default )

Hm, I ll think about it. I had the idea of somekind of checksum, to 
allow detection  of changed text....

Also, just line-number does not work: There can be 2 or more folds 
starting the same line, and vie the context menu you can fold any of them.
