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?

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.

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.

See Is there way to expand all folders in Eclipse project view and search results?

Thanks! I was looking for this exactly as my MacBook Pro does not have a numeric pad. – Clint Eastwood Mar 26 '14 at 12:44

The default key shortcut for "Expand All" seems to be Ctrl + Shift + * (numpad multiply), according to the preferences in General -> Keys.

This shortcut only works in text views; it expands folded sections of text. I am looking for a shortcut to expand a tree of files. – havstein Nov 19 '10 at 19:30
