Using the outline form in list views
Any list view you choose from the View menu (that is, any view
except the icon and small icon views) shows the contents of the
active window in outline form. You can see the contents of a
folder without opening the folder in its own window.
Click the triangle next to a folder name to display or hide the
folder’s contents in the active window. If you double-click a folder,
it opens in its own window, and its outline view closes.
v Shortcuts: When a folder is selected in an outline view,
pressing x–Right Arrow displays its contents and
x–Left Arrow hides its contents. v
