Select backface in solid mode.
Hey everyone ! When you're modeling 40h a week sometimes it can get annoying to have to enable xRay mode with alt-z over and over again to be able to select backface components (components hidden by the geometry in front of it). It would be great if Blender had an option either in the Box Select dropdown options or with the xRay slider to allow the user to select backface components while in solid mode (no see-through). See attachement for detailed behaviour and possible UI implementations.
Thanks for all the amazing work done on the development of Blender so far, it's a truly amazing piece of software to use <3

I also really need selection backface by default without Alt+Z mode, too many extra clicks and poor visibility prevents comfortable modeling! (
It will be done one day. But at this moment there is only endless thread where they discuss how it should be done which goes for 7 months (!) developer.blender.org/T73479
