Problem Description

Currently code folding is implemented on the cell level, however there is no quick means to hide all the cells, except the currently highlighted cell.

Supposing the cells 1, 2 and 3 are created:

#%% 1. import libraries
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#%% 2. create data
x = np.array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
y = 2 * x
#%% 3. plot data
plt.plot(x, y)

Cell 2 is the current cell (current working cell):

To maximise screen space, cell 1 can be collapsed:

To maximise screen space, cell 3 can be collapsed:

For a very large script file with multiple cells, having to select each other cell individually and show/hide the cell becomes cumbersome. Therefore it would be useful to have fold/unfold all cells buttons in the edit menu with associated shortcuts:
