expand/collaspe all about dump_r.php HOT 5 CLOSED

it wouldn't be hard to add. in fact, a way to expand/collapse only a single level of all children of a specific node would be really helpful too. the hard part is how to make a clean, obvious interface for it.

on the other hand it doesnt need to be obvious, just documented. maybe shift+click and ctrl+click

this should give you much more flexibility than just expand/collapse all. if you have an array of objects and those objects have a bunch of expandable properties but you're only interested in the top level ones, you can do ctrl+click on the first array item and have all array items expand to 1 level at the same time. if you do ctrl+shift+click, it will expand all array items to full depth.

Excellent thank you very much.

thanks for the feedback. i think i still prefer my version cause there's less "stuff" there. the tree lines may look cool but are not actually very helpful. if you scroll the parent out of view and you have no siblings to reference, those lines dont help you at all, no one counts them. i think it's easy enough to determine where you are. the same thing for the key-wrapping. it's obvious they're keys and while the wrapping may make a bit faster to search for them in some cases, i prefer it to be clean and just hit "find next" or F3 a couple times. the expanded spacing is probably preferable for most people, but i like it more compact.

it's pretty painless to change through, so glad you like it. FYI, you can actually do the key-wrapping with CSS too, using generated content. http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/css-generated-content-techniques/
