Description Olivier Hallot 2017-10-25 10:56:38 UTC

Recently I used Draw on a file with several layers.

I miss a simple entry "Show/hide layer" or "toggle layer visibility" command in the context menu of the layer tabs.

Currently to hide or show the layer, one has to enter in Modify command dialog, check/uncheck the Visible checkbox and click OK.

Comment 1 Heiko Tietze 2017-10-25 19:36:38 UTC

Shift+left click toggles layer's visibility, but it would be really good to show this shortcut in a context menu.

Comment 2 Regina Henschel 2018-04-08 08:52:21 UTC

Printable on/off is on Crtl+Shift+Click, Lock/unlock is on Ctrl+Click.

Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2018-04-09 07:34:07 UTC

Adding a command to the context menu shouldn't be too hard.

Comment 4 andreas_k 2018-08-26 15:27:11 UTC

That would be really usefull if we can get .uno commands for visible, printable and locked.

I think the coding stuff is in layeroptionsdlg.cxx but I don't know how to make a new .uno: command.

Comment 5 andreas_k 2019-01-28 23:15:29 UTC

I didn't found any uno command for Printable and Lock.
