Vue-devtools: Feature: Expand all, Auto expand all

[phromo]

It would be very helpful if I could auto expand all components and all state variables. I would save a lot of time and energy not being forced to touch the mouse every time I switch component :)

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!

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.
