[SUGGESTION] Being able to collapse all folders in solution view in C# DevKit

[svdbrg]

Describe the feature you'd like

As a user who's been working with VS Code for a while, I've gotten used to collapsing all folders in folder view. Would be nice to have that available in Solution View as well.

Alternatives considered

N/A

Environment Information

OS: Windows 11
VS Code Version: 1.83.1
Extension Version: v0.6.3

Thanks for the suggestion @svdbrg! I also use this in the default explorer view a lot.

For the Solution Explorer view if we added the collapse all:

In a solution with many projects, what would you expect to see?
Collapse only to the projects? Option A:

Or fully emulating what VS Code Explorer does and collapses anything that is collapsable? Option B:

@timheuer Thanks for looking into this :D
I'd expect option A; collapsing all projects but not the solution itself.

Totally agree, it's a must have feature!

While I do think this should be a build-in feature, VS Code's commands are awesome enough so you can actually do this:

{
   "key": "ctrl+left",
   "when": "listFocus && !inputFocus && !treestickyScrollFocused",
   "command": "runCommands",
   "args": {
     "commands": [
       "list.collapseAll",
       "list.focusDown",
       "list.expand"
     ]
  },
},

Add this to your user keybinding.json (command palette -> Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON))

You may need to clear keybind conflics, if any - open the keybinding settings (command palette -> Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts) and type ctrl+left to search for bound commands.
