I find the collapse level (Alt+1, Alt+2, etc) functionality of Notepad++ extremely handy, but only the first level (Alt+1) seems to work for Python code. Manually collapsing a single code block works fine at any level, so it's not like Notepad++ can't handle the indentation-driven syntax.

Does anyone know of a plugin or maybe a setting I missed that would allow this functionality?

I did this to "Settings->shortcut mapper", and you have to do is "alt+1+2" (without releasing alt) all function of a class is collapsed Shortcut Mapper

tecnically is fold all then unfold 1st level

This is a really neat solution. I altered it a little to use Alt+~ for Fold All, leaving 1-9 to map to the corresponding level while still keeping everything within easy reach. Thanks!
well it seems useless because that is a bugs of notepad++ that cannot fold/unfold level 2 and up, this is the ticket ehc.ac/p/notepad-plus/bugs/2601
Hahaha. Well, we get one extra level of folding out of it at least :).

You're right. Python collapse by shortcuts is only at level 1. There isn't any visible setting to fix that. Browsing at plugins page I didn't found anything. Maybe that folding issue is a bug. I suggest you to use Support & online help to get an explanation and/or solution, or submit a bug report if you can't find that.

It turns out there is an open bug report (actually, two) regarding this issue. Thanks.
