Often we need to work on a particular item in the tree.
However, in a large drawing, all other items create a huge visual clutter.
It is desirable to isolate the part on which we are working, and hide the rest of the items to avoid clutter.
However, we do not have a quick toggle to achieve this effect.
It would be great to have a hotkey and/or a context menu to show only the selected node, and hide the rest.
Note that this should be only a toggle: When it is disabled, the previous visibility state of all other nodes should be restored.
(All previously visible nodes should become visible, and all previously hidden nodes should be hidden.)
This feature may be called sommething else (e.g. "isolate") to prevent a confusion between this and the visibility state.
An extended idea is to let the user select multiple nodes in the tree and isolate them all with a single hotkey.
Once the work is done, the user can toggle the isolation off, to respore the visible/hidden state of all other nodes.
Is there an existing issue for this?
