Currently, you can only fold/unfold headers and lists.
In my workflow, folding headers and lists serve different purposes.
I fold headers to eliminate visual clutter and narrow my focus.
With lists, however, they have a meaningful structure; some lists are folded and others unfolded. I find folding all lists not useful at all. Even if I were to fold all lists, I’d want to fold only the topmost level, not all levels.
Possible solution
Add options to separately fold/unfold headers and lists.
Add an option to fold only the topmost level of lists.
I support this request and like to add the option to have commands/shortcuts for folding specific header-types. Like ‘fold all H1’.
Then I could have my header outline easily folded or unfolded.
Hi, I haven’t tested this extensively but I think the Crease plugin by Liam Cain might have what you’re after. As a fellow disgruntle-ee of limited folding controls I’ve found it does exactly what I need.
I also support this request! In the meantime, I’ve realised that it’s possible to prevent all lists from folding by toggling off ‘Fold indent’ in Editor. For me that’s a good trade off because I rarely want to collapse lists, and if I did I suppose I can just pop a header above it.
The Creases plugin suggested above seems great for some purposes but from what I could tell it doesn’t help with the issue of having to manually unfold each dot point.
