Collapse commodities market categories

[moorison]

Thanks to the salvage category of commodities, which is mostly superfluous to (mission) traders, I would like the categories to be able to collapse.
Some menus (settings, galaxy map trade routes, Holo-Me) already have this option, while the ship inventory and status panels have multiple tabs or pages to filter relevant information.

A note could be added to the category title to inform Cmdrs that they carry goods from the category they might want to sell.

I am not sure that the category titles need to be selectable in the same row of the commodities, that would slow down scrolling through the entries even more. A very narrow new row left from the categories would suffice (plus scrolling through the categories-row would increase the speed to find the right entry). A key bind for collapse/expand like in the options menu would be helpful as well.

The material lists got a bit long as well, even with the grade filter (which are not as useful if Cmdrs want to look for a material without remembering the grade), either a function to sort/filter by letter or kind (like at a material trader) would be useful.


I don't think I have missed UI-changes addressing these points in the Beta, but I can't check that now.

I like the idea.

Simple, easy to implement QoL improvement.
Just requires a few tweaks to make nested categories, and should be well within the scope of what's doable within the game.

I like.

Definitely needed - that salvage section is stupidly long - in fact I can't see why that stuff is listed if you haven't got any of it, either treat it like rare goods or let us nest it.
