Assignable Command / Collapse Subfolders

Post by meteorquake »

This will have come up before as a GUI suggestion - something to collapse all sub-folders of the active folderbar item.
What I'm thinking is that if instead there were a command to do this, those who need it can assign a shortcut to it, as there's a lot more freedom to make commands than make GUI items.
I think two flavours (two commands) -
* Just collapse the immediate child folders
* Deep-collapse all sub folders
I would probably tend to use the second form.
The main purpose of it is that after working around a task within a folder you can end up with a lot of subfolders expanded and want to tidy them back to collapsed in order to engage in the next action.
Cheers! David

Numpad - to collapse
Numpad / to collapse all

I will consider assignable keys.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Many thanks - there's generally no NumPad on laptop keyboards as far as I've noticed :)

To show the Collapse all context menu item:
Shift + F10
-or-
Shift + Right click

I always completely forget Shift-Right-Click is there, it's one of the less intuitive concepts due to its menu not being very different from Right-Click!

If shift-right-click had a menu that was completely different from the right-click - with no items in common - I think it could prove quite useful and also would be memorable.
