Eclipse shortcut for 'Expand All' in Synchronize view

Question

Does anybody know a way to create a keyboard shortcut for the button 'Expand All' in the Synchronize view? Or is it possible to have the tree autoexpand on startup?

Answer 1

I just tried this in Eclipse 3.0, but it may work for other versions too:
Simply press the × multiply key on your keypad on the right.

Don't try the * asterisk key, that doesn't work.
And be careful not to do this on a high level project with many nodes to expand, since it will take forever to expand them all.

Answer 2

If you are os OSX, the hotkey is ALT+RIGHT_ARROW. Collapse all is ALT+LEFT_ARROW, accordingly.

The Eclipse preference's key list says CMD-SHIFT-NumPad* but that doesn't work for me.
