This package provides commands for cycling the visibility of outline sections and code blocks. These commands are intended to be bound in outline-minor-mode-map and do most of the work using functions provided by the outline package.

This package is named bicycle because it can additionally make use of the hideshow package.

If hs-minor-mode is enabled and point is at the start of a code block, then hs-toggle-hiding is used instead of some outline function. When you later cycle the visibility of a section that contains code blocks (which is done using outline functions), then code block that have been hidden using hs-toggle-hiding, are not extended.

A reasonable configuration could be:

(use-package bicycle
  :after outline
  :bind (:map outline-minor-mode-map
              ([C-tab] . bicycle-cycle)
              ([S-tab] . bicycle-cycle-global)))

(use-package prog-mode
  :config
  (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode)
  (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'hs-minor-mode))
