Can we please get SELECTABLE/UNSELECTABLE away from SELECT/HIDE and FIND ?

Can we please get SELECTABLE/UNSELECTABLE away from SELECT/HIDE and FIND ?

I find myself constantly accidentally selecting SELECTABLE/UNSELECTABLE when using the right-click drop down and there is NO indication as to what is going on once this happens~!!!

 

ITS MADDENING. Can it get its own darn hotkey and be removed from the right click dropdown altogether?  Also, while we are at it, exactly how do we indicate or show what SELECTABLE mode or status a particular component or body is in the tree??  Perhaps even a warning if you hit SELECTABLE by accident that says "Hey, you just accidentally made this item UNSELECTABLE and you are going to be driven crazy, you SURE you want to do this?"

Can we also give FIND IN BROWSER and FIND IN WINDOW its own hotkey? Oh, I would pay money for that.. Very very useful..

WORST part was, I could also see no indication I made the item UNSELECTABLE in the MODEL HISTORY... Was very odd. 

ALSO, I have no idea why you would make something UNSELECTABLE... why wouldn't you just HIDE it?  Maybe its just my workflow.. I have literally NEVER used it except on ACCIDENT. 😋

Am I getting too existential here? A LOL Hey I got twitchy phenylpiracetam and GABA hands and I am 6'5" with big hands, sometimes I hit the wrong thingy. Help me to at least KNOW I hit the WRONG THINGY, or lets put it elsewhere.  😝

@Anonymous can you take a look at this one? The basic premise of the issue is that when you select a body in the model space and make it UNSELECTABLE, it only indicates its status at the BODY level, and there is no indication at the related COMPONENT level, and the ONLY way to make it SELECTABLE again is to wade through what may be expanding the tree of potentially HUNDREDS of components and look for the BODY that was made UNSELECTABLE. If you have made multiple bodies UNSELECTABLE, is all needle in haystacks, since without being able to SELECT, you cannot use FIND IN BROWSER. 

We really need a "MAKE ALL SELECTABLE"  similar to what we did with "SHOW ALL COMPONENTS" and "SHOW ALL BODIES" to undo the UNSELECTABLE command easily and effectively en masse. 

Good news is, it pushed me to learn Python to make an add-in, also for an IOT device integration with Fusion 360 I am working on.... Bad news is installing a GIT scriptreader and Code Studio somehow crashed my Fusion install and forced me to reinstall.
