4.x had them, 6.x should have them too.
*** Bug 64257 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I see that 4.x has them on Linux but not Windows: - Expand + - Expand All * - Collapse - - Collapse All /

None of those are i18n-safe. Mac OS standard for any twisty item is to expand it with Command+Right, and collapse it with Command+Left. In an isolated environment such as a XUL tree, just Right and Left by themselves could work too. Expanding/collapsing all could be achieved by selecting all (Ctrl+A) and using the same key combos.
That's fine, we'll do this per platform and follow conventions. [win] I expect +-* to work, i didn't know about / [and i haven't tried it].

*** Bug 74216 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Note: in bug 74216 there was a patch (attachment 29338 [details] [diff] [review]) checked in on 2001-04-05 20:27 that was supposed to add expand/collaps all (but not expand/collas this thread), but accroding to comment #9 on bug 74216 "expand all" was not working properly on RedHat Linux 6.2 (but was working properly on other platforms). OTOH, "expand all" works fine for me on RedHat Linux 7.2 using BuildID 2001111600 (0.9.6 branch), so I believe that only - Expand ("+") - Collaps ("-") were left unimplemented.

Summary: add quick keys for {expand & collapse} x {thread & all} → keybaord shortcut for {expand & collapse} x {thread & all}
aaronl wants to use / for type ahead find. both jen and I are ok with him taking /. but we should settle on keys for these four actions. we can look and see if OE or other mail clients have short cuts, and use the same.

Summary: keybaord shortcut for {expand & collapse} x {thread & all} → keyboard shortcuts for {expand & collapse} x {thread & all}
cvs build from sunday afternoon (windows) - Expand <right> - Expand All * - Collapse <left> - Collapse All / imo the message as summarized WFM. afaik, : is available, either for collapse all, or for typeahead.
Current behaviour is: - Expand <right> if on first message of thread, none if not - Expand All * - Collapse <left> if on first message of thread, none if not - Collapse All \

There's no way to expand/collapse "the current thread" when the focus is on the message view pane. That's where my focus is most of the time. I can navigate back and forth between messages using f, b, n, p, ...
BTW, at the moment [Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040121], none of /*-+ on the keypad work, /+- on the normal keyboard do NOT work, * on the normal keyboard works, View|Thread|{Expand,Collapse} All Threads work. If this matters my keyboard is jp106, but I guess mozilla uses the translated keycodes form X11, right? (and they obviously are OK, as I can type them above). For both "*", xev gives: keycode 48 (keysym 0x2a, asterisk), XLookupString gives 1 bytes: "*" keycode 63 (keysym 0xffaa, KP_Multiply), XLookupString gives 1 bytes: "*" If there is difference between asterisk and KP_Multiply, shouldn't they both be mapped for the same command?
