Presets for viewport Overlays so that the one click toggle off button doesnt also hide geometry (for modeling purposes)
right now this cool feature to rapidly turn off all the overlays in the viewport by one click is no useful for other thing than visualization. But if one would want to model with a clean viewport he cant benefit by this great feature since its turning off the display of geometry (edges , faces, vertex ) and selection outlines.
You are only left with the other way around solution. Keeping the overlays on and then manually unchecking all the stuff you want to hide in the viewport except your geometry and selection outlines which is kinda defeating the purpose of this one click toggle.
Having the possibility of creating presets for Viewport overlays would allow different combinations for what you want hide or keep in the viewport so that the benefit of having a single click toggle will extend also for the case when the user just wants a clean viewport when modeling

blender.community/c/today/XXcbbc/ this simple addon kinda solves this shortcoming. It also saves your matcaps.
I've seen that somewhere.
For what it's worth, click+drag enabling and disabling works in the Overlays pop-over. Not exactly a one-click solution, but it is a one-click+drag solution. ;)
That said, presets for this pop-over are probably something that could easily be done with an add-on.

It's faster to climb the Eiffel Tower's 1665 steps.
That's an interesting idea! I can see myself benefiting from this feature with camera view as well (since turning off the overlays turns off the camera's helpers too).
