Keyboard shortcut question
Is there a keyboard shortcut to open or close all of the disclosure triangles at one time for the group headings in the browser? For example, these could be date or assigned scene numbers with a set of clips below each divider. I’d like to be able to close all groups at once in order to selectively open the one or two groups I want to work with at any given time. TIA.

Holding down the alt/opt key when opening a group will open everything inside it.
Does that help?

I think Its command -option and down arrow? Dang now I forget….

This appears to be buggy. In 10.2.3 Command click (on any triangle) would open/close all. Yesterday with 10.3 I found that Command Option click worked. Today nothing works. I just tried every combination. Must report to Apple….

If you hold option and close the Library disclosure triangle, it will close all the other disclosures too (just click the library triangle again to open the library with all the Events closed).

select all then option right or left arrow to open/close. Same as the finder.

I believe OP is talking about in the Browser and not in the Library. Just yesterday I could command click on any disclosure triangle and it would open or close all categories (sorted by file type in this case). Today it is not working. It was wonky in 10.2.3 also.

Hi Nick,
I’m running 10.2.3 here, and the method is “alt/opt” and not “command”.
It also seems to be working just fine in this system as it has always done.
I’m guessing there’s a problem with 10.3?

What’s the difference? The library exists in the browser. All the disclosure triangles work the same. Except in the case of ACTUAL groups where for some reason the keyboard doesn’t do it. But option click still does. It’s been option click as far back as I remember.

All of it is working here on 10.3.1, either Browser in list view or library level.

Opt/alt click is an OS-wide convention to open all enclosed folders and items. Not sure where the idea of command click comes from. Perhaps this …

EDIT: Cmd+Right arrow opens all enclosed folders (in the Finder), not all enclosed items, whereas alt/opt+right arrow opens all enclosed items including folders. I’m not convinced that Cmd+click (or right arrow) has ever opened enclosed items or folders in FCP X, but I could be wrong.
