Keyboard commands for 'Expand/Collapse All', plus a modifier or additional command for only expanding or collapsing one level down

This is because it feels unintuitive to navigate using the keyboard only to go into a submenu to expand a section of nodes all at once.

A modifier would be helpful as it would be an alternative to 'Expand/Collapse All' expanding every single node and sub-node, which can be very clumsy under many circumstances. 

These seem like fairly trivial UX tweaks, but I think it would help improve QOL enough to warrant the change.

  Hi Aaron,

  You can hit Ctrl+DoubleSpace in any list to fully expand or collapse... or double click on the expand/ collapse arrows.

  To expand/ collapse all nodes incrementally by one level... zoom into a list... and with your cursor in the zoomed-in list title, use Ctrl+Down or Ctrl+Up.

  Hi Frank! Thank you so much, was aware of the former but the latter is brilliant. Very useful, especially now that I've macro'd it up to 'zoom > cursor home > ctrl + down to expand one level' in one smooth motion.
