Is there a quick way to A) show just the folder names in root, B) have everything within them open?

Hello

Is there a quick way to
A) Just show all the folder names in the root directory, but to
B) have everything within the folders open once you click on the folder names?

Not a simple clic, but you can set hotkeys to :

A) collapse all the outline
B) achieved by two keys indeed :
1) expand all the outline
2) collapse all the outline except the selected folder.

I don't think I follow you. F7 gets everything open, F6 collapses everything and just shows all my folder names in root.

If I hit F6 to just show the foldernames... but that leaves everything collapsed when you open any folder

Ah wait, but if hit F7 to leave everything open, I can then scroll to the top of the page and repeat Left Arrow, Down Arrow until I get to the bottom.

Then I can use Control/Shift/D which "collapses or expands all subtasks" - that's pretty useful.

But on reflection what I *really* want  is to have a single hotkey that cycles through the "levels" below the current selection, opening more and more, until it gets to the end where upon it collapses them all.

Fwiw, "Control/D" in Mindjet's MindManager does this - incredibly useful!

Does MLO have an equivalent?

You effectively has F6 and F7 predefined, but I also suggest you set a hotkey to "collapse all except selected branch" (don't remember the exact words, but you just search in the list, you'll find).
This will do what you want (I suppose)

By the way, there is a simpler hotkey set as ctrl+ù, which id exactly what you search : "collapse/expand substasks"

[J Smith]

No, "Collapse all except selection" collapses all the chidren of what is selected. This is of no use to me.

Yes, "Collapse/Expand subtasks" is extremely useful - thanks. (To get clear the default is Control/ single quote for this)

My regret is that there seems to be no way of expanding sub-task level by level.

J,

Under the View menu, Collapse/Expand sub-menu, there are choices for "Show level 1", "Show level 2", etc.

These don't have pre-defined keyboard shortcuts, but you can assign these in Tools/Options/Hotkeys.

Is this what you are looking for?

No, not quite. 

A) the "Show level" function depends where you have got selected

B) Unfortunately it closes ALL the levels within levels below it
