Show/hide construction geometry

I know shift-p hides all the construction geometry, but it doesn't toggle it back on as far as I can tell.
It would be nice if shift+p could be made to toggle the show/hide
or if it does exist, then how do you make it visible without having to do "show all sketches" and all the other stuff to make everything visible?

yes, I think that would be good. Intuitively, this is exactly the kind of feature that needs a toggle in my opinion.
How do you define "construction" geometry? When you use shift+p it hides everything that isn't part or surface.
"toggling" would mean showing "everything" again, i.e. all sketches, curves, mate connectors etc…
Maybe what you are asking for is like "display state" functionality in the part studio so you could "save" different sets of shown/hidden things (that could come in handy…)
@eric_pesty yes that is what i mean by construction geometry. Also the "display state" idea you said could be good too.
It would be great to have an option where in a sketch for example, there is an option where you can pick elements (sketches, patterned sketches, etc.) to be hidden just when you are in that sketch. then, once you leave the sketch, the show/hide choices revert to the "global" preferences. This would be for when there is construction geometry obstructing the view, but you don't want to dig through folders to show and hide stuff each time you want to edit that sketch. This could possibly also apply to fillets and other features.
