In List view, select an item and press `Shift + ←` to hide what is inside it, or `Shift + →` to show it again. Add `Alt/Opt` to do the same for every level inside.

- `Shift + Space` — Expand or collapse the selected items
- `Shift + →` — Expand the selected items
- `Shift + ←` — Collapse the selected items
- `Shift + Alt/Opt + ←` — Collapse every level inside
- `Shift + Alt/Opt + →` — Expand every level inside

*`Shift + →` expands one level: “Wireframes” stays collapsed until `Shift + Alt/Opt + →` expands everything inside “Website redesign”.*
