Collapse Stacks or Versions with same key combo.

Right now when one is in their library browsing the main window:

1. To collapse stacks, one has to utilize Shift+C and Shift+E (or Ctrl+arrows) to collapse and expand stacks
2. To collapse version (sets or stacks) you have to press Ctrl+Shift+S (I think) to toggle collapse and expand the version stack.

There is no overlap such that key combinations in 1 don't work in 2 and vice versa.

However, it would be convenient since the collapse and expansion of either Stacks or Version Sets are really a display feature that adds a convenience on top of the functions that are built into the database behavior of each type of set.

Request:

Allow one of pair of key combinations to work for both Stacks and Version Sets.  I often want to collapse and expand all stacks (Version or Otherwise) with one key combination, and it can't be done (or it's not working on my setup).  Ideally, I'd like it to be the Ctrl+Shift+S combination, but any of the combinations would be nice.

What if some files of your version stack is part of a normal stack?

I don't know.

Right now, we have two options for the normal stacks.  It might be nice if one of those pairs of combinations could work for both types of stacks.  Perhaps on whatever combo is chosen the collapse or expand collapses or expands everything completely.  Perhaps it progresses through the possible options as a toggle. 

As it is, it just seems a bit awkward, mostly because with version stacks we have a toggle that requires (Ctrl+Shift+S).  With Normal stacks, we don't have a toggle and our two options requires either a shift+ or a ctrl+ combo.  The implementations aren't that similar even though the visual behavior is. 

I suppose alternatively using some type of toggle similar to the version stacks for the normal stacks could be easy (a Ctrl+Shift+C maybe, or whatever combination isn't used yet).


Ultimately, I'm just throwing it out there.  It's not that big of a deal.  I just get thrown off trying to expand and select all files in a folder when I have both Normal and Version Stacks and I keep mixing the key combinations up.
