Subtree visibility cycling for TaskPaper 3

Macro Library
1

The TaskPaper > Outline menu of the TaskPaper 3 plain text outliner gives us a rich set of keystrokes for either expanding or collapsing all or part of TaskPaper outlines to some degree.

For some reason (perhaps just laziness) I like to cycle all the things, rather than using one key for collapse and another for expand.

Here is a macro,

Subtree visibility cycling for TaskPaper3.kmmacros (23.2 KB)

which you can attach to a single key (I happen to use ⌘L) for cycling selected outline items between three states:

Fully collapsed -> all children visible -> all descendants visible (-> fully collapsed again)

Or, as it is described in the manual of emacs OrgMode, which also uses this pattern:

,-> FOLDED -> CHILDREN -> SUBTREE --.
