Visual Studio: Is there a way to collapse all items of Solution Explorer?

Question

I know that I can use Arrow Keys to collapse items of solution explorer one by one, but I would like to know if there is a way to collapse all items with only one operation. I want to know it because, today I have a solution with 6 projects that have at least two hundred files and if I try to collapse them one-by-one I will have a hard time.

Answer 1

It appears to be built in by default in Visual Studio 2013 onwards.

Answer 2

如果您安装了 ReSharper，您可以在解决方案资源管理器中右键单击解决方案，然后选择“全部折叠”。

Answer 3

You can use PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2008

Right click on the project\\solution on the solution explorer and choose Collapse Project:

Answer 4

Just use the number pad 's Plus + and Minus - keys at the top-level node, to expand and collapse respectively (Note: * also expands the whole list.)

For the toolbox, you need to use * and / instead for expand/collapse. Go figure.

Answer 5

If you have Resharper installed, there is an option called Collapse All and a shortcut key next to it.

Now this shortcut key will not work for you ! Unless you set it up using Tools > Options > Keyboard .

The command name is ReSharper_CollapseInSolutionExplorer .

Search using this command name and assign a shortcut key of your choice.

and you now have a shortcut key ready to use to collapse all items in your solution explorer.

I know I am a little late to this discussion, but this surely gonna help some one or other.

Answer 6

The VisualStudio extension CodeMaid provides collapsing.

Download from VisualStudioGallery.

The current version only supports VS2010 or higher, but you can install older versions side-by-side.

Answer 10

Visual Studio 2012 将于 2012 年 8 月 15 日发布，因此我建议升级到该版本以获得一个快速的“全部折叠”工具栏按钮，以前仅在 Productivity Power Tools 的解决方案导航器中可用，有时速度太慢而无法使用。

Answer 12

Use the Visual Studio extension that fits your version of Visual Studio. In my case (I use Visual Studio 2012) I use the extension Productivity Power Tools , but, unfortunately this exist only for VS 2010 and latter... For VS 2008 there is a similar extension: Power Commands .
