To disable code folding in Atom, do as follows:
div.icon-right::before {
transform: translateX(-30px);
}
.foldable {
pointer-events: none;
}
div.icon-right {
width: 0px;
}
The arrow icon is translated out of visible space, the line-number/folding column will be not respond to pointer events and additionally the fold icon gets a 0px width to save some extra space.
