Current Behavior

When inspecting an app with a complex and/or nested search tree, it can be cumbersome to open each element one after another.

Suggested Solution

Allowing for an "expand recursively" option in the context menu for each element can allow tester to quickly open up an element and all nested ones, quickly getting a look of the element tree.

Additional Information

No response

I'm not too keen on having the full tree expand in one go (I expect to see some issues with deeply nested apps, e.g. React Native), but allowing to expand more than one at a time would definitely be useful.

Apparently the TreeView they're using to display the element tree does allow for arrow navigation, but only if you use the Tab key to focus on it, which does not appear to work in Appium Inspector specifically. As for "expand recursively", I just want the ability to weed through a lot of nested elements. Honestly, the inspector view needs to be a lot more fully-featured, imo.
