Outliner Shortcuts

Outliner Shorcuts

Outliner Shortcuts is an editor only plugin that allows the binding of shortcuts to some basic World Outliner functions like Collapse All and Expand All, and a new function Collapse to Root was also added.

Another functionality of the plugin is to automatically Expand/Collapse/Collapse to Root the World Outliner when a Map opens.

Due to issues with the Marketplace/Epic Game Launcher (outside of my control), you might have issues installing the plugin from the Marketplace being displayed as Unavailable. Please report this issue to Epic.

If you want, as the project is open source, you can also install the plugin manually by following these instructions:

UE 5.1+

Unreal Engine 5.1 added the possibility of having multiple Outliners.

The commands "Expand All", "Collapse All" and "Collapse to Root" will now work only on the Outliner that was last focused, referred to as the most recently used Outliner.

Three new commands have been added: "Expand All Outliners", "Collapse All Outliners" and "Collapse All Outliners to Root" which will affect *all* the opened Outliner windows.

Binding Shortcuts

Open the Editor Preferences (Edit > Editor Preferences).

Either search for "Outliner Shortcuts" or go under "General > Keyboard Shortcuts > Outliner Shortcuts".

You can now set custom shortcuts for the World Outliner functions "Collapse All", "Collapse to Root" and "Expand All".

Since UE 5.1, you can also set shortcuts for the functions "Expand All Outliners", "Collapse All Outliners" and "Collapse All Outliners to Root".

Automatic Collapsing on Map Open

Open the Editor Preferences (Edit > Editor Preferences).

Either search for "Outliner Shortcuts" or go under "Plugins > Outliner Shortcuts > Outliner Shortcuts".

You can now set a default behavior for the World Outliner when a Map opens.
