This may have a conflict with the Vim plugin. Mentioning in case folks come here and scratch their head why it seems not to work. The Vim plugin is extremely bad about Ctrl-key sequences and MSoft could care less. – jatal Jun 02 '18 at 23:16
Ctrl + K Ctrl + 3 – noririco Jul 27 '20 at 05:18

Nice, and for Mac users, all same, just in place of `Ctrl` use `⌘ (Command)` – Hari Kishore Jun 03 '21 at 12:55

Yes, it makes sense to make Ctrl+K+zero and Ctrl+K+J a pair of commonly used key bindings. Very wise to make them completely forgettable and bizarre. Well done Microsoft. Looking forward to not being able to install Windows 11. – Dan Rayson Jun 29 '21 at 13:47

You can set custom values for that.

Open the Command Palette (⌘ + ⇧ + P or F1 on Mac)
Search Open Keyboard Shortcuts
Then search for collapse
Finally click the + sign near the Collapse All and Collapse Folders in Explorer options and set the shortcuts like I did

Or you can open keybindings.json file and add this to the main array.

 ,
  {
    "key": "cmd+k cmd+s",
    "command": "search.action.collapseSearchResults"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+k cmd+e",
    "command": "workbench.files.action.collapseExplorerFolders"
  }

Go to File --> Preferences --> Keyboard Shortcuts (or Ctrl+K Ctrl+S)

Search for the word fold all

The ones you need are:

Fold All
Unfold All

Set your custom keyboard shortcut

One simple way I use is:

Launch command pallete with Ctrl + Shift + P
Search for Collapse Folders in Explorer
Press Enter

You can also define a custom shortcut for this command in settings.

Thanks this was helpful, a recent update has made all of my folders expand when I first open VS Code, which is less than ideal. This makes it easy to close them all. – Karl Carpenter Oct 14 '21 at 13:01
what about expand. Apparently for explorer, the feature is no more there. – Mohamed Allal Aug 23 '22 at 14:30

Go to 'Keyboard Shortcuts' and type in search input: "fold all regions". You see fold/unfold (expand/collapse) commands and shortcuts. Use or change them.
