Collapse recursively

Open rwv37 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

In KeePass, if you right-click on a group, the popup menu has a "Collapse recursively" function. It would be nice to have the same sort of thing in KeePassXC.

It would also be nice to go a step further: Have an option to always treat collapsing a group (via its arrow) as "collapse this group recursively".

I would love this feature. We have a KP database that is accessed via a variety of clients including a KeePass (.Net) that syncs remotely to it. The user invariably has used search extensively so lots of groups are open and that layout syncs back.

I found a demo plugin for KeePass that collapses the groups on opening and I use it myself just so I can save the db back with the groups collapsed! Then I open it in KeePassXC and get on with my life 8)

Any plans to add this feature? In KeePass you have the two options "Expand recursively" and "Collapse recursively". I would love to have this feature in KeePassXC :-).

I think implementing this as a "Shift + Click" would be most appropriate. Holding shift will collapse/expand recursively.

Qt offers the ability to "expand recursively" already by pressing the Asterisk key (*). There is no key to collapse recursively though.
