Is there a shortcut key in Visual Studio that will minimize all of the regions or + signs so that I don't have to go through and click each one individually?

    How to collapse **regions** is actually not clearly answered in any of these answers nor on the linked question. Pressing (Ctrl+M, Ctrl+O) will **toggle** between collapsed or expanded state, not just 'expand all' – Raikol Amaro Oct 30 '18 at 19:34

C-m, C-o // collapse all
C-m, C-l // expand all
C-m, C-m // collapse, expand one

Where C is short for Ctrl. You can find more shortcuts at the msdn site

You can find the commands by going to Keyboard Options under the Tools menu, they are mapped to these commands

  • Edit.CollapseToDefinitions (C-m, C-o),
  • Edit.ToggleOutliningExpansion (C-m, C-m) and
  • Edit.ToggleAllOutlining (C-m, C-l)

enter image description here

If you are using Visual Studio Code the commands are similar but work differently. The commands are roughly these

  • C-k 2 - Fold Level 2
  • C-k C-j - Unfold all
  • C-k [ - Unfold recursively (unfold where the caret is)

You can search for Fold or Unfold commands (using C-S-p) to find all of them.

Ctrl + M, Ctrl + M

You can perform this on a selection too.
