"F" opens all tracks to fit the screen but I'd like to be able to minimize them to the original size they were when I add them.
 
I looked in Help. I looked in the Reference Manual. No love.
 
Is there a way to minimize them all at once either using a key shortcut or mouse capable command or am I stuck doing these individually?
 
I thank you in advance.
 

good point. have you tried shift-f ?

I'd like to know also as I have looked in the ref manual and just tried playing with things and no love here either. Would have been nice if it was an 'undo' type feature that would get you back to where you were prior to using the 'F' fit tracks shorcut.

@Bouvrette, yep, Tried Alt-F, Shift-F. No dice.

@rtucker, I like to minimize these for some reason as I work my way through a project so it would be a nice feature. I mean if you can maximize something you should be able to minimize it, no?

maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but have you tried working with Auto Track Zoom?(Track View > View > ATZ) When its enabled, resize an unselected track to its minimum which then resizes them rest of them, then select the ideal height for the single selected track. Super handy way to work once you get familiar as all tracks you are not working on minimize automatically.

Oi! Never used it but I'll give it a try. Seems like a long way round but I appreciate the info.

It's so tedious minimizing the tracks one by one.

oh, forgot the obvious - Vertical Zoom Control at the bottom right ( + and - magnifying glasses). Click and drag up. That my goto command. @rtucker; there is a view undo command under View > View Undo in track view.

CTRL+ up arrow for zooming out. 

Press and hold CTRL + UPArrow.
