Hide and Unhide a block of codes (Like folding feature in some editors)

[joecooldoo]

If you mean to rename the block, just click on the text of the block while in the custom block editor.

Thanks @mr_owlssssnap2 for your response,

@mr_owlssssnap2

just hover and drag over text and press q to make a quote.

I am totally at a loss of understanding your suggestion here... what do you mean exactly?

Thanks @joecooldoo for your response.

No, I don't mean to rename the block. I was looking at length of list block, it's label is _ of _, but when I type length, rank, flatten, or any of the available option along side of length, when I do the search, this block would show up. I am wondering where I control these search keywords, so that my own block would turn up... obviously it's not label now, I asked the initial question, thought these must be stored in the label, apparently not, I guess I am searching for the answer to this new question...

I think they were talking about in the forum. If you select text in a post, and press q, it will quote that text. I personally never knew about the keyboard shortcut, because there's a button that pops up to quote the selected text.

(I'm on mobile right now)

Thanks @ego-lay_atman-bay,

Now I got it... incidentally, I only found out today, and I have been using this feature to reply, as @bh always does the quote, it's much clearer when you are answering the specific part of the discussion.

Sorry mr_owlssssnap2 for my confusion.

[joecooldoo]

As of my research, you can only type the block name to bring up your block in search.

[joecooldoo]

You can however use keyboard editing to place the inputs into the block, but this probably isn't what you're looking for.

I think the alternate names are available as a special case for LENGTH and a few other primitive blocks. The thing is, not every readonly dropdown menu is meant to be part of the block's name, e.g., the sprite input to TELL. (Say control-F stage, and you'll get the MY block but not TELL or any of the other blocks that take a sprite input.)

For primitives, we know what we mean and can handle some cases specially. But for custom blocks we can't read your mind. (Please don't suggest that we add a "part of the name" checkbox to menu inputs in the input dialog box, or else Jens will yell at me about "give them an inch and they take a mile." He won't yell at you; I'm the designated whipping boy for users. :~/ P.S. This is why English units will never completely die out; "give them a centimeter and they take a kilometer" just doesn't have the same ring.)

I don't think labels have anything to do with it. Labels are a new thing in 8.0 just for the sake of the DEFINE block.

@sm2art

One more point after "Finally", Since I have imported many library functions and wrote quite a few of my own blocks, when I try to do a relabel (right click to bring up the option, then choose a different similar function), too many choices coming up, how could we narrow down the choices? Is there some best practices for this?

I added one more point in the original post.

I wasn't going to, but now since you mentioned, could we have a mile?
