            Bug ID: 128058
           Summary: UI: Option to open all heading branches at once
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium

Description:
(This is a follow-up bug of
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36308.)

* * *

> The second part of the request wasn't filled: "An option to open all
> branches at once is highly desirable too". 
> This is highly necessary for someone that needs to navigate along long
> documents.

Currently, when you open a document (consider a document with a lot of headings
from level 1 to level 4), all heading branches in Navigator will be collapsed.
To have them visible - you need to expand them manually - each one. Of course,
it could be tedious.

It will be very useful to have an option to quickly expand all these branches
to specific level.

* * *

A possible way to implement such feature:

We already have "Heading Levels Shown" button in Navigator. Its behavior could
be slightly changed: instead of simply limit the visible depth of the headings,
it could automatically expand them to this level.

This (or similar) idea was already described by Christoph:

>> An option to open all branches at once is highly desirable too.

> The "Show heading levels" dropdown "filter" should be converted into
a command list. So if the user sets "5", then all the headings until
level 5 should be expanded. All further levels will still be expandable
by the user. If the user sets "1", then all headings are collapsed but
the main headings. Still, the user may expand them manually - there is
no hidden pre-filtering.

(https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36308#c1)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document with a lot of headings from level 1 to level 4.
2. Expand these heading in Navigator.
3. Close document and then open it again.
4. The headings in Navigator will be collapsed and you will be required to
expand them one by one.
