Reveal All Child Elements and/or Bulk Reveal

My brain must be too mushy and unable to form a proper search, since I'm sure that this must have been discussed here before. I'm getting tired of clicking on dots to turn them green. How can I:

  1. Reveal all snippets in an article at once?
  2. Reveal all child articles in a given container (including all the child articles' snippets) at once?
 
Okay, I've figured out number 1: under Content Pane Options (F7), under the "Quick Edit Content" menu, is an option to reveal all snippits. It is still not whole satisfactory as (1) I still have to reveal the topic and the snippits separately and (2) there is no hot key and you cave to go three-levels deep into menus to get to it. If you don't have many snippets, it is probably easier to just manually click the reveal orbs, though it is nice to have the option for larger articles.

I'm going to try to create a PhraseExpress macro to make this into a simple hotkey. But I can't see a way to automate the revealing of all contained articles and all their snippets with PhraseExpress.
 
Unless it can dig into another application's tree controls, I don't see a good way for your macro program to know where to stop.

Recursively revealing/concealing Topics and Snippets from the Navigation Pane sounds like a suggestion that comes with an "Are You Sure?" dialog and/or proper Undo support. At present there's no way to get back whatever reveal state you had, unless everything was unrevealed.
 
I made a PhraseExpress macro that will work on a single article. It will review that Topic and all snippets in the article with a single hot key. It still had to click on each individual article, but it still saved a lot of time over having to manually click on lists of grey orbs or to dig through menus.
