ALT+Click to expand/collapse children - Photoshop style

Small idea for a small feature:

I am working daily with Photoshop on files with lots and lots of layers that need to be grouped, often resulting in groups within groups etc. so the structure sometimes can be quite complex and a bit similar to Workflowy's.

And some time ago I have discovered a small feature in Photoshop that I find extremely convenient - it let's you expand or collapse all children of a group/node when holding ALT and clicking on an arrow next to the parent note.

I'd love to see that in Workflowy as well.

Best,
Alex

  Excellent idea, would work well with my Photoshop instincts.

  Hi folks! You can expand/ collapse all children lists by placing your cursor in any list and hitting Ctrl+Space,Space (double space)... or you can double click on the expand/ collapse arrows :-)

  Wow, I never knew this "Ctrl+Space,Space (double space)" existed!

  Nonetheless, it seems not to be working.

  Not working on the Mac Os desktop app, so tried it online on WF web version and doesn't work either…  :(

  CTRL+double Space is good, but much better would be a gradual expansion.
  Something like this: CTRL+DOWN = expansion of the first level of children
  another CTRL+DOWN = expansion of the second level.
  And so on.

  
  Many times is not necessary to expand all levels at once. Only one or two levels of children are enough.
