Summary0009998: Add a "Visible state" option for groups?
DescriptionHeyo,

It would be very convenient to toggle the visibility of entire groups.
Thus, Right-click -> Hide would hide ALL tracks/buses within that group if something like "Visible state" was/is enabled for the group.

I swear there was a way to already do this though...
Am I wrong?

BONUS NOTE:
Would it be possible to also setup key commands to toggle the visibility (hide or show) of entire groups?
Example use: if the drums takes up like 15 lanes and you're not currently editing them, it might be nice to temporarily hide them quickly.

The 'Group' pane of the mixer list (at the left of the mixer window) has a 'Show' tick-box for each group, that hides or shows all members of the group: maybe that's what you were thinking of? Perhaps adding a 'Hide' action to the group tab context menu would be enough to satisfy?
