Collections soloing sequence with number keys

Bringing back using the number keys as was done with layers is great. Suggestion on improving how the number keys work: Image

CURRENTLY :

Pressing 1 will hide all collections except Collection 1. To access collections within Collection 1, the number shortcut wraps around. ie to see Collection 4 alone, I'd have to press 4.

This makes some elements harder to access, and limits the user to 10 top-level collections.

SUGGESTION :

Make collections within top-level collections have to use the same key as the parent. That is, to access the Collections within collection 1, we'd have to press 1 multiple times:

1 - Solo's Collection 1 and all sub-collections

1 again - Solo's Collection 4

1 again - Solo's Collection 5

1 again - (no more collections) Goes back to Solo'ing Collection 1

Collection 2 and 3 continue to use the hotkeys 2 and 3 and any further collections added won't affect the hotkeys for collections above, meaning you can have up to 10 top level collections with any number of collections within.

POSSIBLE CONFLICTS:

  • Probably wont have as many top-level collections to make this necessary.
  • Moving object to collections using Hotkeys becomes trickier.

I would upvote this but I absolutely despise those shortcut keys and think this "Solo" behavior should be removed entirely. They have never been useful and I could not find them to disable them in the Keymap.
