There's a handy thing you can do on Windows systems. If you're viewing a tree of data (registry entries, file explorer, etc.), hitting '*' will completely open all the branches. The problem is that there is no way of closing it again. That is to say, you can '-' and shrink it, but all that does is close the top; the children are still all open. There's no way to say, close all branches below depth n. Unfun.
