1 - Text & arrows - I often need to change to "Front Group" - wish I could set as default.
2 - The arrow in particular - I often need to put in front of the text, so the solid fill of text doesn't hide part of the arrow when it comes from the end of a paragraph. My wish is that arrow could be not only "Front Group", but also "Front of Group"
3 - Marquee Select - Intersection vs. Contained - I wish I could put on a hot keyWendy Lee Welton

I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)

Flipping walls to invisible for camera shots
I would like a toggle that when on each wall clicked would become invisible and when off each wall clicked becomes visible again

Better access to Marquee Select is high on my list, but even higher would be programmable hot key icons similar to library browser keys in that they have assignable features. This would require an icon character editor/creator for those instances which hot keys don't have characters assigned. I suppose that what I'm proposing is similar to a macro language. All I know is that I would really like to get my cursor on a transform/replicate-reflect-horizontal one click icon, or some combination thereof.
Unfortunately, what I propose would have to override some of the current hierarchy of how some things are done and may not be possible. However, dreams never become reality if kept to themselves.
