SublimeText seems to have it. I don’t personally use it but it’s a pretty competent editor and it’s not in the feature table from the Wikipedia page someone else shared.

Sublime 3 was limited to folding by indentation; I’m not sure if that’s true for Sublime 4 as well, but the Markdown plugin docs have a note on folding and mention you can fold by section and heading levels.

Thank you for mentioning Sublime Text! It seems to be a very competent text editor. However, unfortunately, I don't like how it is not open source.

I think my needs for a text editor for making notes and/or writing texts are mostly fulfilled between Emacs and Kate. At least..., for my untrained eyes. Do you think Sublime Text offers merit beyond (either of) these to be considered instead?
