Fast switching between Collections !!! Outliner.

Can we have Shift or Ctrl or Alt or something (maybe only one click toggle?) when click on 'Disable collection in viewport' so we can switch fast between Collections?

In old layer system you could click on a layer and you were there! But now you must click on a layer/Collection you want to see and then click on others to disable. Annoying as hell.

Long story short, it could just be exactly like for 'Hide collection in viewport' (Ctrl to isolate) so you dont have to paint-deselect everything else.

Although its fun to paint select/deselect everything :), I was thinking the UX better practice is to have an option 1 click away instead of 2 or more clicks if its possible.

You can change collection with the 1,2,3,etc key from your keyboard, just like layer in 2.79 image

@anthony.guiziou: But, if I have for example 15 different layers/Collections ? I think it wouldnt be so hard to implement Shift-click on an icon to disable everything else and show only layer/Collection you want. Its just one simple thing that would be very convenient.

@konj: I agree, you're right.

Most of time I just use shortcut. I think it's possible to use 20 collection with shortcut to 1 to 10 = 1 to 0 and 11 to 20 = alt+1 to alt+0. But after that you can ctrl+click to show only selection, that's only work on the hide in viewport button but not on hide in render and collection button That's not resolve the problem and and it doesn't allow to switch between the collection. If blender dev add the same function to collection button, that's be reaaly useful
