Want to unhide columns en masse

[jenyoung]

Sometimes after I have already collapsed a bunch of columns, I'd like to unhide them en masse instead of one by one. This is very frustrating since I deal with projects that easily have 50 columns. Right now, I have to click on each column individually.

Edit: I missed that unhiding is available under All - it would be nice to also have it available under the column View menu with the left/right options available as well.

Proposed solution

To the View Menu, add

• Show all other columns
• Show all columns to left
• Show all columns to right

Alternatives considered

The only alternative is clicking one by one or exiting and reopening the project.

@jenyoung Hi! You probably missed this, but it's already available under the All menu dropdown as "Expand all columns".
Hmm, but looking and thinking about this, perhaps you are right in your thinking...maybe it would be good to at least have another copy of the "Expand all columns" additionally in the View menu so folks don't miss it?
Is that something you would expect as a better user experience? If so, then feel free to edit your above comment to that specific ask and well try to work on this in the future.

Well probably since I didn't realize it was also under All ha!. However, it would be nice to also be able to do all to the left/right which is not available at all.
