I went to Debian Testing. Xfce 4.20 is now even better, amazingly good job, all new features and functionalities are awesome and work really well.
But my question is, is it possible to create a custom keyboard shortcut to open and close folder in Thunar when using "List View" with expandable folders? Left and right arrow work fine, but like binding for example TAB as a toggle for open and close.

I'm not sure about a toggle to open and close a folder but you can navigate around Thunar with the keyboard easily enough.

Yes, it is easy to use Thunar with keyboard. But it would be convenient to be able to assign same functionality that left and right arrow key do with expandable folder, to some other key also, for example TAB, as a toggle for opening and closing. I don't find left and right arrow functionality listed as shortcuts anywhere.

The problem with any sort of toggle function is that you would need to know or keep track of the current state of the toggle (on/off) so you can switch between the two. Unfortunately, thunar does not expose this.
You could create a script to track the toggle state yourself and issue commands like:
xdotool key Left
xdotool key Right
...and assign it to whatever shortcut you want.

Okay, thanks, that sounds like a fine experiment! I've run many times to this xdotool in different situations, this could be the time to test this also.
