You can easily collapse or expand ALL your code with Outlining.  For example, if you have a bunch of code that is expanded:

And want it all collapsed, then you have two options:

  1. Hit CTRL + M, CTRL + L
  2. Go to Edit -> Outlining -> Toggle All Outlining on the Menu Bar

Just repeat one of the steps to reverse the process and ALL your code will be expanded.  This is particularly useful if you are using a feature that can't look inside collapsed code.
