Feature Request: Expand and Collapse Threads and Collections

Post by johnjs »

Just a small feature request:

Would it be possible to make the Left and Right Arrow keys expand/collapse threads and collections? In most windows applications the right arrow key will expand a tree and the left will collapse it. It would make it a lot easier to browse headers with just the keyboard.

Thanks in advance.

do you mean collection/thread associated with the focused entry or the whole selected range? probably the former.

Thanks for the reply, I ment the former.

Basically the same way the Workspace in Usenet Explorer works. If you have a folder with multiple newsgroups in it, with the folder highlighted, the right arrow key expands the folder tree, the left arrow collapses it. If you highlight a newsgroup with multiple servers attached to it, the right arrow key expands and the left collapses.
