Can't change visibility of sketch in Timeline

I would like to be able to change sketch visibility from my timeline,
but from what I seen, it's only possible to hide a sketch from the browser.

When modeling I mostly look at the timeline, since this is where my last features are placed.
Now, I need to 'right click sketch in timeline -> find in browser -> right click the sketch in browser -> Show/Hide'.

If the sketch is a one on one link with the browser, then why can't I just change the visibility from the timeline?

Some pictures:
right click on the timeline sketch -> no visibility option:

Right click on the same browser sketch -> visibility option:

It gets worse when you first click on the timeline sketch, and then right click on the same browser sketch, because suddenly there is no more visibility option:

So actually to steps to hide a sketch that you have in your timeline are like this:
'right click my sketch -> find in browser -> click away from the sketch -> right click the sketch in browser -> Show/Hide'.

This third picture is also the reason why you can't press the hide/show shortcut after finding a sketch in browser.

Any easier method? This seems a bit convoluted.

Hi,

If you left-click on a sketch in the timeline, it is highlighted in the browser and can be made invisible/visible.

Thank you for the video!

My point is that I don't want to be looking for the sketch in my browser, because this takes a long time, and switching the visibility of sketches is something that you do a lot.

The other point is that even when I do 'Find in Browser' on the sketch, it's not even possible to just press the 'Show/Hide'-Shortcut.

As you showed I have to first manually move to the sketch in the timeline, and then hide it.

If there is another (faster) way, feel free to let me know.
