Description Adam Dingle 2006-08-05 23:44:46 UTC 
It would greatly ease keyboard navigation in a GtkTreeView if the left/right arrow keys would contract or expand a tree branch; today I need to type '+' or '-' to contract or expand.  '+' in particular is inconvenient to type, especially on a laptop.

As noted in the original GtkTreeView keynav spec (http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/keynav/gtk_lists.html) Windows allows this keyboard gesture; it's quite familiar to people migrating from Windows and would be nice to have in GTK too.
