Does NetBeans have any "collapse all" shortcut for open directories in the navigator view? [duplicate]

NetBeans has a helpful (to me anyway!) feature under the "Views" menu, called "Synchronize Editor with Views". As the name suggests, toggling this on will cause the navigator view to jump straight to a file when it's opened in the editor.

I generally prefer this to the normal "Ctrl+Shift+1" shortcut for manually jumping to a file. However, the downside is that after editing several files, your navigator tree is a mess of multiple open directories.

Eclipse has similar functionality, but it also has a "collapse all" button at the top of its navigator view... restoring things with a single click having to scroll around. Does NetBeans have any similar mechanism for collapsing open directories? Maybe a poorly-documented keyboard shortcut buried in there or something?

Unfortunately, after further digging on the NetBeans discussion forums and mailing lists, it seems that this functionality simply doesn't exist. That's a shame... hopefully they'll add it in the future.

A dirty solution is to close the project and reopen it. It will start collapsed.

Close the navigator (press the x). Then go to Window->Navigating->Navigator or press Ctrl+7. It should open the navigator with all collapsed.
