Scenario 1:

- Parent

    - Child

    - Child

    - Child/Parent | <--- Cursor is here. Collapse is sent

        - Child <--- This should collapse

        - Child <--- This should collapse

        - Child <--- This should collapse

Scenario 2:

- Parent <--- Cursor should end here

    - Child <--- This should collapse

    - Child <--- This should collapse

    - Child <--- This should collapse

    - Child (or collapsed parent) | <--- Cursor is here. Collapse is sent

  Hi Damon,

  The way that collapsing works is that it doubles up as an expand feature too. I understand your suggestion... although do you have a suggestion to differentiate between whether a collapsed node your cursor is currently in should expand... or if it should collapse one level up to the parent list (Scenario 2)?

  In Scenario 1, if the logic of scenario 2 were to be used, I'm assuming you're proposing that first the "child/ parent" list should be collapsed... and then upon further activation, the outline should be collapsed to "Parent"?

  The outline could be collapsed to the parent node.

  Collapse command pressed
  IF current node is open,
  Collapse node
  ELSE
  Collapse parent node
  END

  If you use arrow keys in MacOS’s finder, this is how it works.
