[Feature] Add Ctrl + Click on Act expand/collapse arrow to solo/unsolo Act #87

Hi!

It would be nice if we could Ctrl + Click on an act's expand arrow button to expand the act and collapse all the other acts, like a "solo act" feature.

After soloing an act, we can click Ctrl + Click on the act's now collapse arrow button to collapse it and restore the expand/collapse state of all the other acts prior to soloing the act.

Never heard about something similar before :)

What case you want to solve with this feature? Why do you think it will be helpful?

hyuri commented 1 year ago

The "solo" feature is present in many apps, especially media creation apps like digital audio workstations and image editors.

Case I want to solve / Why I think it's useful:

Sometimes we have multiple acts with many scenes in each and it gets crowded. And sometimes when I'm working on a scene in Act 2, and I'm focused in Act 2, I only want to see the scenes in Act 2 and not have the scenes in Act 1 take space and push the scenes in Act 2 down in the screenplay navigator.

Sometimes I want to see the big picture, with all the scenes, or check scenes from other acts while working in a scene, but sometimes I just want to focus on that one act.
