Hi Jesse,

The following will set up a script so that pushing H will hide all surfaces:

H=script:moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getBReps().setProperty( 'hidden', true );

It's not a pain at all, I'm very interested to know things that don't seem to be working as you'd expect.

I can't quite follow your steps though - I tried drawing a circle, selecting it, then copy, then paste, then hide. Then after that right-click repeats pasting new objects. I'm not in a command at that point so there isn't anything to cancel.

Could you please go over the steps that cause the problem?
