Alt+Click on twirl arrows in the Project panel to only expand/collapse the selected bin tree

Hiya, I’d like to request that the behaviour of Alt+Click on a twirl arrow in the Premiere Project Panel be amended (or an option added to choose what it does).

Currently Alt+Click on a twirl arrow will collapse or expand the entire project tree - I’d like to request that it be amended so that Alt+Click only affects the bin and sub-bins that had it’s arrow clicked, leaving all other bins in their current state.

This would mirror how Ctrl+Click on the twirl arrow works in After Effects.

The reason is that in complex projects being able to target the folders that are expanded or collapsed would decrease the time spent navigating the Project panel - it would allow much faster exposure and hiding of assets and this time would quickly add up.

This would mean less mental energy was spent on folder navigation, which in turn helps stay in the creative flow. It’s a relatively small request, but potentially has an outsized impact on user experience.
