I think these would be nice in a context menu:
Looks like too many items to me. I might put Expand All/Collapse All as toolbar buttons as they're not item specific. The rest will need some thinking about.

On a side note, w.r.t. expanding and collapsing, I think it'd be nice to be able to restore the expanded / collapsed state if I ever choose Collapse All or Expand All (say, by accident, or even to get a quick peek).  Does it make sense and what do you think of the idea?
Sounds like a good idea. If I can manage to get Undo to work like that I will do.

The following seem to me to work better with clicking and dragging (rather than in a context menu):
Yes, I agree. Drag and Drop is something that I'd like to implement. Unfortunately last time I tried it, it was a little awkward - dragging and dropping would mess with the item's checkbox status >:(

A context menu for adding items should be fairly straight-forward, same with expand/collapse. Cut, copy & paste might be a little more tricky, but doable.

The difficulty with context menus is deciding what functions to put on them and what order to put them in. Here are a few possibilities:

  • Add Item
  • Add Sub-Item
  • Delete
  • -
  • Undo
  • -
  • Cut
  • Copy
  • Paste
  • -
  • Edit
  • -
  • Move Up
  • Move Down
  • Move Left
  • Move Right
  • -
  • Expand All
  • Collapse All
  • -
  • Expand Item
  • Collapse Item
  • -
  • Expand Item & Sub Items
  • Collapse Item & Sub Items

Some of these would probably be useful/better as toolbar buttons.

I've updated Tree List again. It will now remember the expanded/collapsed state of items when they are moved.

Hmm...not having any luck w/ the keyboard shortcuts.  No response to any of those four...
Really? :huh:
I've uploaded it again. Would you try deleting it, downloading again and having another go?

There is a wee problem with the double click though. When you double click on an item nothing happens, but when you click on an already highlighted item it starts and edit (there is a very slight delay).
I have a problem with my mouse - sometimes it double-clicks when I click once, so testing this isn't as straight-forward as it should be. However, the default behaviour should be:

Double-Click: Expand/Collapse Item -or- Do nothing if there are no sub-nodes.
Single-Click: Select Item
Single-Click <pause> Single-Click again: Edit Item. (this is standard behaviour - you can do the same with filenames in Windows)
