Hide a subtool - explore different ways to do the same thing

Looking for several ways to work in Full Screen mode and Hide a subtool.
I think a “Solo” hotkey Is the main way to do this.
When zoomed in, Ctrl + Click to select a subtool, then “Solo” fo focus on it.
In this case I don’t want to use the “eye” icon in the SubPalette.
What are some other ways to do this?

Outside of solo mode, subtool visibility requires interacting with the subtool entry in the subtool list. Toggle the visibility icon to flip it off for an individual subtool, or Shift-click it to switch off subtool visibility for all subtools. Organize your subtools into folders to be able to quickly toggle the visibility for groups of subtools. You can try assigning hotkeys to the visibility icons in the subtool list, but this wont work very well. You will still switch to that subtool and make it active before toggling the visibility, and the active subtool will always be visible, regardless of its visibility status.

Polygroups within an active subtool can be quickly hidden with a variety of keyboard shortcuts.
