Temporary Lock of Geometry via Keystroke & Moving Geometry?

 From:  OSTexo

Hello,

I'm liking the defeaturing feature incorporated into MoI, one less application to bounce between.

I'd like to be able to quick lock/unlock via keystroke hold/tap to lock a curve or surface down so I can grab attached geometry that I'd like to defeature or delete. I could do the same via layers and objects but that sort of the defeats the expectation of something being MoI easy.

On a related note I think I tracked down the issue with surface movement? It doesn't usually work for me if I want to move a face and try to use a snapping point on the object itself. Using another object to snap works consistently well.

Also, I can't figure out how to assign a keystroke shortcut to Hide objects? Do I need a script for that?

Thanks.
