Add shortcut key to Expand/Collapse Branches

[phossler]

Notepad++ has the ability to Expand and Collapse branch using shortcut keys and the [View] menu, including 'All', 'Current', or to a level

Editor has similar capability, but requires clicking the teeny, tiny [+] or [-] box to the left of the line

Adding a [View] menu with similar Notepad++ shortcut key feature would be handy

Hi phossler,

I added a View menu in the latest build to show these options. I am having issues assigning the Unfold Current Level action to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F, so I assigned it to Ctrl+Alt+G instead.

I will leave this issue open for a bit in case I do some tweaks.

Regards,
Fernando

I believe that the other 'Unfold' or 'Uncollapse' options include using the Shift key.

So 'Unfold Current Level' might be Ctrl+Alt+Shift+g. Is that what you meant by Ctrl+Alt+G?

[fernandreu]

No, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+[Key] combinations do not seem to be triggered for some reason (haven't investigated yet either). Hence, rather than Ctrl+Alt+F / Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F for folding / unfolding respectively, I have mapped the unfold one to Ctrl+Alt+G. This is just because it is a similar shortcut to the folding one and the G is next to the F, no other strong motivation really.

This might just be temporary if I can figure out why the originally intended key combination doesn't work.

I just had a look at the issue with the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F shortcut, and it seems it is because Windows reserved this particular key combination after an update; see this. Other Ctrl+Alt+Shift+[Key] combinations are fine.

Notepad++ actually has the exact same problem, so they should probably change this shortcut too. I will create an issue in their project.

Based on that, I think I will leave the shortcut as it is (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+G). If Notepad++ does indeed change the shortcut for this, I will make sure this tool uses the same one.
