Hi everyone,

This is a very simple idea. According to this page, it is possible to use these 4 keyboard shortcuts on the checkboxes in the Contents Pane:

Ctrl and click a check box

Turn on or off all selected items. If a single item is selected, all items at the selected hierarchical level are turned off.

Ctrl+Shift and click a check box

Turn on or off all selected items. If a single item is selected, turn on or off all items at all hierarchical levels.

Alt and click a check box

Turn off all layers except the one whose check box you clicked at the current hierarchical level.

Alt+Shift and click a check box

Turn off all layers except the one whose check box you clicked at all hierarchical levels, including group layer contents.

 

What I suggest is to extend this behavior (4 shortcuts) to the Unique Values symbology table (see image).

That's all.

Thanks,
v.
