[Feature Request] Visual Indicators of Toggle Status in 3D Viewport #1

Open brybalicious opened 3 years ago

brybalicious commented 3 years ago

Feature Description

Visual Indicators to show the status of whether MMB or Numpad Emulation are toggled 'ON' or 'OFF'

Motivation

Regularly, number keys and Alt key must be tested when human user cannot remember if the toggle has been switched on or off. Sometimes this even annoyingly requires those testing operations to be undone e.g. if collections become hidden. Huge time sink

Suggested Implementation

Should be easy to interpret whether this means Alt or Number Keys are being used for navigation, or for numerical/other operators
Perhaps an 'Eye' or viewport orientation icon, and a 'Numbers' icon or 'Alt' icon...
Either a single Icon gets highlighted, or the icon gets switched, or both
Or, the keywords 'On' and 'Off' are toggled
