See Jimmac's latest comment in the bug report for another assessment of the disadvantages of the 'cycling' behavior with 4 modes.
Personally, I settled with assigning keyboard shortcuts to normal and outline view modes to allow a 'pseudo-toggle' between e.g. outline and normal view (using two adjacent keys), or no-filter and normal (using 'toggle' once and switch back to normal view).
If new modes are added, I'd favor a solution to return to the 'toggle' behavior between normal and last used mode (while keeping the ability to map each mode to its own key using its verb).
I think we are doing it wrong :)
Let's see. Given that we shall have both greyscale/bw mode and color separation view mode, that gives us:
- precision modes (wireframe > no filters > normal) - color modes (bw, full, separation preview)
So why not have two cycling shortcuts for each of those groups? And separate them in menu?
