I find the current method of selecting the visibility status in of Design Layers etc in the Navigation Panel (and elsewhere) both tedious and redundant.
Currently, one must inspect THREE columns, and then move your mouse cursor to one of these columns, and then click to indicate your choice.
Problem Statement:
There is NO need for 3 columns to indicate different choices of visibility states!
Solution Proposal:
Use just ONE column to accomplish this SAME functionality.
In the proposed new SINGULAR column, the selection is by SUCCESSIVELY clicking at a SINGLE mouse position, sequencing either:
1. The Eyeball (indicating visibility)
2. a "X" (indicating visibility is switched off)
3. The Eyeball - Greyed Out (indicating grayed layer)
Benefits - Immediately Implementable with negligible recoding!
1. Much Quicker, and much more User-Friendly!
2. No need for muscle micro-movements to have to position cursor slightly from one column to another.
3. Less cognitive load to have to visually scan what the current status of the eyeball in the columns is; and then have to make a decision on where to move cursor; then have to confirm the correct choice was made. And move the cursor to another column if mistake made.
4. All this is now unnecessary!
5. Position the cursor in one-movement over the selected eyeball, then quickly click through the options.
6. Make a selection mistake? No need to move cursor to another column! Just keep clicking on mouse to cycle through options again.
