So, how exactly do you collapse all take lanes/automation on tracks at once?

This never worked right in X2, and I don't see any improvement. I suppose if you crtl-a and then collapsed one, it should in theory do all.

Hi Jamesyoyo,
 
Show/hide takes and show/hide lanes are two separate controls. There are two ways you can close both at the same time. You can use keybindings to assign two keys (i.e. two keys next to each other on your PC keyboard) and hit them at the same time or use Auto Track Zoom which shows all active lanes and takes when the track is clicked.

Thanks, but what are the exact commands to keybind to? I did not see them in the list.

steve is right on that one, the only thing is it only works on the active track.  so, if you select all tracks and issue the shift+a and shift+t shortcuts, they still only work on the track that's in focus.  i'd like to see that change to all selected tracks.

I agree this would be a nice update.  In the meantime, holding CNTRL while clicking the open/close take/automation icons works.

Not for me it doesn't.

First you need to select all of the tracks you want to expand or collapse lanes.  Then, on any one of these hold CNTR while clicking the appropriate lane button.  This should work.  Unless, as has already been noted, auto zoom is engaged.
