Provide "visibility cycling"

[ngirard]

Heya,

one feature I've always appreciated in Org mode is the so-called visibility cycling. That is, by repeteadly hitting just one shortcut, the view switches between these 3 different states:

,-> FOLDED -> CHILDREN -> SUBTREE --.
'-----------------------------------'

• in the folded state, everything is folded;
• in the children state, the contents is made visible but the sub-headers (children) are kept folded;
• in the subtree state, everything is expanded and made visible.

There's also a distinction between "global cycling", by which you alter the visibility of the whole file, and "local cycling", by which you alter the visibility of the part of the file where the cursor is located.

Here's one gif I could find to illustrate how it feels like:

and in the Obsidian forum is has been discussed here and here.

It would be great if your plugin could provide such functionality !

Cheers, and thanks for your work !

@ngirard I think this is probably out of scope of this plugin; this only deals with the folders in the file explorer and tag pane. It doesn't do anything to folded headings in the editor.
