I use that command quite a bit to help me quickly see more context (and possibly add some follow-up actions), then use it again to quickly return to the context where I was working. Does that help?

I just tried this. Highlighting the action and toggling back and forth works, but I do think it would be easier and better (more intuitive) to see the full hierarchy including action groups in the project column of Context view. Anything to make one less step would work better for me. it would become unweildly to have to toggle back and forth b/w project and context on a long list of actions in context view.
