Looking for hotkey to expand all / collapse all I found these, which neither is working on Mac.
Neither of these shorcuts are working on the Mac Os app!
Control+Space doesn't do anything.
Command+Space opens the Mac OS Search Spotlight as always.
Clicking the space twice while holding the Meta key doesn't work either.
How do we "Expand all / Collapse all" on the Mac with just the keyboard?
Help please!

Hi Frank, yes I've got that same answer from you before and never worked. I gave up thinking it should be something wrong with my computer or OS.
Now I changed computer and still won't work. This can't be coincidence.
Also it makes sense that it won't work because "Cmd+Space" triggers the native MacOS spotlight search! So doing Cmd+DoubleSpace will trigger the spotlight and then close it while WorkFlowy stays the same.
Any idea what could be happening? Please help solve this! :) I can't be the only one having this problem… Thanks! -

So sorry Max. This is one of those hidden shortcuts that have always worked for everyone. We haven't put it out there publicly. I'm not sure that I know how to resolve this in your case. I wish I could.
Maybe I'm wrong about this working on Mac. It would be good for others to chime in too. I might have missed something. It's simply a workaround I discovered as a WorkFlowy user, along with many other hidden things... and now as a WorkFlowy employee, I find myself suggesting the things I know that have worked for me as well as others.

Unfortunately no :(
But why could it be???
I did the same question before and never managed to make it work on my previous computers. Now I've got my new MBP so I tried again in this new setup and still won't work. Isn't this too strange?
Are there any settings or something that you have to tweak to make the CTRL-Space work?
Ctrl+DoubleSpace doesn't work either on my end :(
Control + Space or Control + Double Space just won't do anything…
And not even knowing the reason for this unresponsiveness is so frustrating :|

I hope you take this question the correct way... How quickly are you tapping the space bar?
Measured in seconds? hm, I would say nearly 0.4 to 0.8 :D (If I took the question too seriously, the informal answer would be: the fastest I can).
You need to keep Ctrl held down and tap the space bar twice in very quick succession.
Yep, that's exactly what I am doing. I even tried it at different speeds now to rule out that reason. Thanks for the aclaration, though, My WorkFlowy is still completely unresponsive to Control+DoubleSpace :(
Otherwise I'm at a loss for what else to suggest to you.
Yes, it is so weird! I would consider it because this is a UK keyboard, but my previous ones are USA keyboards and didn't work either. So I am at a loss, too! :|

This is an old thread; but I found it searching for the same issue: How to make the expand/collpase keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+Space work on my mac.
What I found in my case: If you have the "Things" app installed, by default Things takes over the Ctrl+Space hotkey. Disable that in Things preferences; and suddenly it works as expected on my Mac with Chrome.
Maybe helps someone else. :)
