Feature request: collapse all

Hi,
I miss a collapse/open all column in main view of Zotero.
  • the - and + key on your keyboard.
  • great, didn't know it. but it could be visually
  • yeah, but too many buttons have UX costs, too.
  • I can't find that shortcut listed anywhere in the Zotero client, are there others that aren't listed too or am I just missing something obvious?
  • It's a generic keyboard functionality that Zotero inherits from the Mozilla framework it uses -- I think it used to be more common than it is now, but you can still find it in a fair number of apps. There's are a whole bunch of standard keyboard functionality that isn't specifically documented, including more obvious ones such as tab & arrows to move between fields & items, and lesser known ones such as hitting a letter to advance to it in a sorted (middle panel) list.

    Some additional ones are listed here: https://www.zotero.org/support/tips_and_tricks

    No, that one's us. Other functionality in the trees — such as the find-as-you-type that you mention, or right/left-arrow to expand/collapse parent rows — comes from Mozilla.
