r5228 Set Invisible

I agree that for Set Invisible, the context menu is faster - that's because it is always two clicks away (one to open the menu, another to select Set Invisible from the short list of available options). Whereas with the Inspector, you need one click to open the inspector, then you need to hunt around, possibly scrolling, to find the item (buried among a host of much-less-commonly-used parameters like "offtime offset"), then click the item, then another click to make the inspector go away again. Perhaps some would leave the inspector open full time, but I can't see myself doing that unless a way were found to make it far less intrusive.

On the other hand, I do like the idea of the inspector in general. It's an improvement over the properties dialog, which has to be opened and closed element by element, which can be a pain sometimes. All I would ask is that the most commonly used elements from the inspector also be made available directly from the right click menu, and/or via keyboard shortcut (the latter being my own preference). There cannot be any major technical hurdles to overcome here - consider that "flip stem" already works this way - a keyboard shortcut as well as a setting in the inspector. Give me a similar toggle for "Set Invisible" and I'm happy.

I haven't thought through all possible settings, but after a cursory poke around, I think Set Invisible is really the only element I'd use enough to care about here. Maybe a shortcut to toggle the "small" property also, but not that's not common enough to be worth taking up space in the context menu.
