Keyboard Shortcut - Suppress Features

Keyboard Shortcut - Suppress Features

My idea is especially for the Part modelling environment, although it could be extended to assembly:

By the way, it should be a toggle, i.e. Alt+S would either suppress or unsuppress selected feature(s).  I realize this becomes complex with multiple selections...what if some features are suppressed and some aren't...well probably handle it like whichever first or last one selected, just make them all the opposite suppression state of what that one is.

The (Right-click + "S") to Suppress / Un-Suppress constraints was seemingly removed in Inventor 2021. I would be great if this was added back in, as there doesn't seem to be any reason it was removed in the first place. We are constantly suppressing and un-suppressing constraints, and not having hotkey functionality is a huge step back for maintaining a smooth work flow.

Its not in Inventor 2020 or 2022. Not sure when it was removed.

Often, in other Windows applications, that case is handled by toggling the state of each item in the selection individually. In this case, that would mean suppressing the unsuppressed items in the selection, and unsuppressing the suppressed items in the selection. For Inventor, this style of handling would allow the user to switch between temporary ad-hoc states (for example in testing their model construction), without or before employing Model States.
