Would love this. A keyboard shortcut that I can use to toggle reference plane visibility on and off.

In general, Revit needs better (faster) access to many of its commands.

See my post:

Individual keyboard shortcuts to all the possible categories of the Visibility/graphics dialog box may be a bit difficult to achieve. I think what is really needed is a streamlined Hide/Isolate tool. Like so many other things in Revit the Hide/Isolate tool just takes too many mouse clicks to make it work.

What could work is something similar to AutoCAD's "turn objects layer off" tool that shipped with the express tools - the little visibilty light icon.

Revit already has this, in the Temporary Hide/Isolate tool. Click the sunglasses in the toolbar.

Scott,
:oops:
Thanks for the tip, wish I could work around someone that could give me all the newbie tips - running solo over here.
The Temporary Hide/Isolate tool takes 4 clicks vs. 2 in ACAD to do what I want it to do, but that's not a problem.
Is there any quick way to hide all the reference lines (or any other catogory) in all the views? Hopefully I'm just missing another little button.
