Hide Class Command Needed.

[Bruce Kieffer]

It's way too difficult to hide a visible class without locating the class in the navigation palette. I can right click an object and activate the class, but often that class is buried in my navigation palette hierarchy, so it's useless to activate it because I still have to find it. A right click hide class command would solve this.

Does the Visibility tool not do what you need? Keyboard shortcut ‘V’ key.

It sure does work! That's perfect. Now I just need to remember to use that tool!

As a side point, class filters are a great way to quickly navigate to specific groups of classes in a long list.

 

Also, probably not relevant in your case but a simple script can be used to toggle the visibility of a specific class on + off. So I have all my loci on the 'NonPlot' class + use a script assigned to a keyboard shortcut to toggle it on + off, depending on whether I want to see the loci or not.

 

Edit: BTW 'simple script' means simple for @Pat Stanford not simple for me! Thank you Pat.

There is a dedicated tool in the basic palette, too.

Yes, The visibility Tool which @rDesign mentioned above. I've been using it and it is better than a contextual menu hide command. More powerful. Cool how the double click the icon functions work. Check out the tool's settings, that's where you will find those options.
