Add buttons for collapse all and find in folder tree

[BrianIto]

When we are dealing with files and folders in our debugging/coding sessions is kinda hard, repetitive and flow-breaker to collapse all the folders that we open (specially those which guides us to nowhere). Adding a simple collapse all button near the main folder (project) would solve this problem.

I would do this, if I knew how to write Rust and I never contributed before in any project (and I really feel I should be handguided to not make any crazy mistake).

An example in VsCode:

An example in JetBrains IDEs:

Thanks for all you are doing guys. I absolutely love Zed!

While I cannot speak for the Zed team specifically, I have noticed that they generally aim for a minimalistic design for the editor. As a result, the action buttons in the project panel may not fit into the view. Please note that I am not suggesting that this is a bad idea or that it will not be implemented in Zed, but rather sharing my observations.

That said, with the project panel focused, you can achieve the exact behaviour you're looking for by selecting the project panel: collapse all entries command from the command panel using cmd-shift-p.

In all other text editors that I've used option-click on the folder collapses or expands all folders.

I suggest enabling the option-click behavior to expand all or collapse all.

• This is in line with standards set by all other editors, and
• A minimalist design that is not cluttered with buttons.

@jish hope you noticed that was implemented 😄

I had not noticed. Thanks for adding this feature, and thanks for letting me know! 😄 🙇

Doesnt't work for me. If I option click in the search view it only collapses the one file I clicked at.
