Java Swing BASH Error: xset command not found

Java

After further research it seems that the Ubuntu VM in Repl.it is missing a package needed for this to run. I have tried to install the package myself using apt-get install x11-xserver-utils but we don't have root access.

Custom Folding Blocks

I am wondering if there is a way to create a custom folding region. I want to be able to collapse my Setters and Getters and other sections of code.

It depends on the language. Python determines folds by indentation. So you can use a comment one indentation short of the code you want to fold and it will create a fold point that will include any code on the same indentation. C# has something called regions which allow you to set up foldable regions: #region #endregion to close the block This comment section is terrible. Imagine the .'s as spaces and no () around the (#) Python: ..(#) comment label for folded code ....folded code here ....thi2 years ago

I don’t think you can. Maybe try putting them in another block of some sort like give them a unique indentation?3 years ago
