In the past, I can remember, I had a nice key combination to open a folder and all subfolders (tree view) with just a view clicks in Caja. Anybody an idea?
Thanks in advance!

It looks like Caja can not do that. Probably, some other file manager can:

BTW, xfe is in the standard Ubuntu repos.

I there, pretty sure Caja can you that as I have used it a while ago. But I can't remember the shortcut. Errr....
I think this might be helpful:

Hey Alarik,
Thanks for your answer. No, I don't want to d&d just open the full folder tree with all subfolders without to open every subfolder one by one manually.

AFAIK, all caja shortcuts are listed in ~/.config/caja/accels file. I could not find anything related there:
~/.config/caja$ grep -i all accels
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/SpatialActions/Close All Folders" "<Primary>q")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/RenameSelectAll" "<Shift>F2")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/Select All" "<Primary>a")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/NavigationActions/Close All Windows" "<Primary>q")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ClipboardActions/Select All" "<Primary>a")
~/.config/caja$ grep -i folder accels
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/SpatialActions/Close All Folders" "<Primary>q")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/Open Scripts Folder" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/SpatialActions/Close Parent Folders" "<Primary><Shift>w")

Just found out, that [*] key is doing 50% of what I like to do. It's just collapse the first level of folders. But the subfolders are still closed.
Ah, it's back!
I just did following in Caja:
- mark the folder you like to open (including all the subfolders and files)
- press and hold [shift] and use [+] one time to open the first level of folders
- while you still hold [shift] press a second time [+] to open the subfolders with files. Click till all sub-sub-folders are collapsed.
I have to note it somewhere not to forget again.
