Data Lineage - Enhancement: Key Bindings for expanding node parents/children

[michaelg]

In the data lineage tool, there are a lot of helpful key bindings, but the operations I use most often is not supported, which are the Expand parents/children buttons:

Ideally we could select a set of nodes, and view all children for each of these in one step. The other key bindings make navigating in lineage pretty swift, especially with layouts, but this could be a big win.
We can do this action with the buttons of course, so it’s not a high priority enhancement but could improve the tool IMO!

Thanks for the request. We can probably add a hotkey here for expanding one level in either direction. Would that be sufficient? You could hit that hotkey multiple times if you want to expand more levels.

I’m wary of adding a hotkey to do something like expand all levels since that can be a huge number of nodes (which is why we try to tell you how many you are getting here before you commit).

Yep I think one level would be perfect.
