View layers should toggle on AND off?

Postby ottadini » Thu Mar 08, 2012 11:00 am

Hi hi,

I've searched here and on Launchpad, to see if there is a request to make the behaviour of the Show Layers keystroke (CTRL+SHIFT+L) *toggle* the layers view on and off, like View Rulers does (CTRL+R). My 0.48.2 does not toggle off, only on.

Sometimes... you just wanna quickly view the layers, then hide them again. I know F12 toggles everything, but that's different! I might want to keep Fill and Stroke open, for example.

This could be good for all of the keystroke combos: Text, Fill and Stroke, Objects, Path Effect, Transform, Align & Distribute, and Swatches.

Checking here just in case this is already set in train.

This feature request has been filed already (more than once, by the way):
Bug #253775 “Shortcut to open a dialog should also close it” (+ duplicates).
