Details

Customization:

• The Hide Non-Selected Nodes hotkey is Shift+H by default. It can be changed in res://addons/solo_visibility/hide_nodes_shortcut.tres
• The Show Non-Selected Nodes hotkey is Alt+H by default. It can be changed in res://addons/solo_visibility/show_nodes_shortcut.tres

Where the hotkey can activate:

• Only when the 2D or 3D 'main screens' (the tabs in the top middle) are open
• Only when the 2D Viewport, 3D Viewport, or Scene dock are focused.
  • If you have any of those three focused and the hotkey isn't working, please immediately open an Issue!

Known issues

1. Disabling the plugin causes Undo Hide Non-selected Nodes to break, even if the plugin is re-enabled before attempting to undo. I suspect this is Godot-level and cannot be fixed on the plugin's end.
   • Please remember to Undo Hide Non-Selected Nodes before disabling the plugin.
2. The current implementation of Shift+H and Alt+H use hidden metadata on each node to remember whether to show or hide the node. This may leave unwanted metadata on your nodes. A cleanup solution is being worked on, but if it bothers you you can always open .tscn files in a text editor and delete all metadata/SoloVis_Hide## = false lines (where ## is a random int).
