Hide all / show all keyboard shortcut & Hide logic

Under Review

Hi,




I'd like to have a keyboard shortcut for “Hide All” and “Show All.” It could be the same button, but one that acts like an on/off switch.


I use “hide show all” all the time, and I had to tweak an AutoHotkey script to assign it to a keyboard shortcut... but it's far from ideal.

Also, I'd like it so that if a folder in Takeoffs is hidden and I click on a child item in that folder to “show” it, it doesn't get stuck.


Similarly, if I hide or show a folder and a child item in Takeoffs was already hidden, it should reset and follow the parent folder’s logic.


I’m not sure if I’m making myself clear… but basically, I’d like it so that no matter where I click “Hide” or “Show,” it just hides or shows the item without being blocked by parent folder logic.


We could add a third state to the padlock (by clicking a third time or hold down)—for example, a red padlock—which prevents any state changes unless you click on it to unlock it.

I'm putting this out there... if anyone sees it... it'll make an estimator happy 😅


thx

Hey Fred, thank you for the feature requests! I'll mention the Hide All and Show All hotkeys to the dev team. Any suggestions for the shortcut key would be welcome.


Regarding showing a child takeoff when the parent is hidden, we have some changes locally to allow this. It should be coming out in one of our next updates.

I think this is a great idea. It would help me too.
