How do I collapse one thread

more options

I know how to collapse all threads by going through VIEW, Threads, Collapse all Threads. But if I open one thread I can't find a way to just collapse that thread rather than going back through all the steps of View, Threads, Collapse. Is there a way to just collapse one thread after viewing it?

\ does not work! I also tried the International keyboard, just in case it was a keyboard-related issue. Also * does not work. I have now 68.6.0 for Mac.
