Hi

Ages ago someone told me there is a keyboard short-cut to turn off the display of avatar names and groups above the heads of the avatars. I have been searching for this keyboard short-cut but I cannot find any information about it if it exists.

I know that I can change the display of names and groups in the preferences of the avatar viewer, but a keyboard short-cut to toggle this setting would be very handy.

Thank you.

On the regular SL viewer, on my system, with the focus "in the world",

Control P
Tab
Tab
Down Arrow
Up Arrow
Enter

turns name display off

Control P
Tab
Tab
Down Arrow
Down Arrow
Enter

turns them on.

Isn't that convenient?

You can tab from there down to the apply button and press enter if you want. ;) :rolleyes:
