Feature: Expand all, Auto expand all about devtools HOT 6 CLOSED

In other parts of the chrome dev tools, alt-clicking (ctrl+alt click for me on Unity desktop) performs an expand-all:

It's a few days away from 2021 and I'm not seeing that 2 layers are expanded by default, and I'm really tired of clicking open my data every time I reload the app.

I would love a button in settings that lets me choose how many layers are open by default. This little UI feature would save developer lifetimes.

Auto expanding everything can also be quite messy when the app is large. The data inspector also needs to deal with possible circular references. I have made it expand 2 levels deep by default - this should save a good amount of clicks for simpler components.

Would it be hard to allow us to choose if we want auto expand or not?

At the moment I have an object as one of my data variables. It has a lot of properties and is being expanded automatically. This means I have to scroll down a lot (or collapse the object) before I can get to see the next data variable easily.

In the grand scheme of things, it's just a little bit of a nuisance!
