Hide unhide components shortcut

Hi, I am new on Inventor & searching for a shortcut like tab & shift tab for unhide components of SolidWorks.

I have also attached a video for reference that shows but we do in solidworks to hide and unhide components in Assy and part modelling environment. We just move our cursor on components which we want to hide and than press tab, to unhide just move your cursor on that particular place and Press Shift+Tab. 

My trainer told me Press Alt+V to hide and unhide components. it's Ok, But to unhide components, I have to find that components form browser first that is not an pleasant task. 

So, Please tell me if anybody have any idea how we can hide and unhide parts in assy easily with any shortcut, if it is possible. Than please let me know.

Short answer, no such tool exists in Inventor.
Longer answer: you can play around with Isolate and other tools to get where you want to go, maybe assigning some keyboard shortcuts for that too (Tools > Customize > Keyboard)

I may be repeating info in one of the links that have been added here. In the assembly browser R.Click on any part, then 'selection' & 'all invisible components'. That will highlight all hidden parts so you can make all visible or deselect parts you don't want to make visible.
