Enable / disable group shortcut

Would it be possible to add a shortcut to enable / disable the content of a group in Grasshopper please?

I’ve been using a button which Andrew Heumann added to metahopper after I requested such a feature years ago. For a while already I’m trying to get rid of plugins I don’t necessarily need… So here we are…

Great suggestion! How about making it a toggle so Ctrl+E flips between Disable/Enable.

And do something visual to mark the group as disabled - maybe grey the background. Or put a red border around it.

All components would be disabled right?

Should be easy to see.

Panels are hatched when disabled but I think groups could keep their original color and don’t need any additional indicator.

Nicely done Martin - I’d be happy to live with that.

But wouldn’t a red outline around the group be nice too?

(I know - beggars can’t be choosey.)

Different color outline would be nice until the group for some reason has the same color as the disabled outline.

I’d call that a user problem, not a McNeel problem.

It’s a similar solution like the metahopper button.

Ideally Grasshopper would at least have a shortcut to select the content of a group. I know about right click select all…
