    I made this to solve a minor problem I have with Reaper, and that's the inability to totally hide the content from folders. You can only minimize it, but it just bothers me that you can't totally not see it. I assigned this action to the left arrow and now it hides and shows the content properly.
    There is this bug that if you ungroup the tracks while collapsed they will become spooky ghost tracks that keep playing but will not be shown unless ctrl+z

    This is how it was done in case you want to do it yourself

    I hope it helps.

    Just make some custom actions or a cycle action

    Code:
    SWS: Select children of selected folder
    SWS: Show selected tracks in TCP and MCP
    
    Code:
    SWS: Select children of selected folder
    SWS: Hide selected tracks from TCP
    SWS: Hide selected tracks from MCP
    

    Haven't tested it, but should work

    Yes, I made something similar to that with a cycle action. Do you know how any posible solution to improve the action to avoid the bug I mentioned?
