When viewing newsgroups in Thunderbird, is there a shortcut key which closes all the opened threads and sub threads, please?

Right click anywhere in all the thread tabs at the top, and select 'Close Other Tabs'
You mean collapsing the tree view such that you see only the OP and none of the replies?
If so, then just hit \
To expand all threads, *
Yep!
Thanks John, that works perfectly.
do you mean close, or collapse?
use * and / to expand and collapse
So its a toggle is it? Blindies like me expect to be able to use a shortcut key, seeing as we do not use the mouse. Often many sighted people tell me that when they get used to short cuts in software its more accurate and faster than the mouse in any case. Brian
