X-ray toggle

[VincentCuclair]

I'm sure this has been asked for but just in case: please add an option where we can set the X-ray to toggle on resp. off when we hit the B-Key, sometimes I need both hands when drawing in X-Ray mode (one for the mouse and the other to enter something on the keyboard) and thus holding down the B-Key is rather difficult.

I actually don't think it has, but that makes sense.

Do you think something simple like a quick double-tap of the B key to toggle it on and another double tap to toggle it off would work? Seems like that would be the easier answer than trying to hunt down another unused hotkey for it. Or should it just be a quick prefs option in the View bar?

Well personally I would like to have the choice to set the B key functionality universally, I don't think I'll be using a mixture of both. I guess it should be an option in the VWs Prefs dialog or like you say an option in the quick prefs. However for the people using both an option to assign a hot key for each would be good. I don't fancy the double-tap suggestion because switching on and off in quick succession would mean 4 quick taps which creates a large margin for error in a tap too much or too little....me thinks.

True, I get button-slap-happy as well. I'll put in for "Add the ability to toggle the Xray mode on, without having to constantly press B" and see what engineering comes up with!

Can you also toggle the zoom in key to be on as well?

I don't think I understand the request, wouldn't that constantly zoom in until it hit maximum?

I think he means this:
