Stop hiding my damn sketches.

Hi folks tiny, tiny niggle this but is anyone else not liking the default behaviour whereby sketches are automatically hidden after an entity is used?

Example:-  
I draw a sketch with a circle and a square on it and want to extrude them to different heights.
I extrude the circle, all is good.
I go to extrude the square but OS has hidden the initial sketch presumably thinking I'm done with it.

OS please stop doing my thinking for me!

    This could be a double tap keyboard shortcut:
    Enter once= close sketch and hide
    Enter double tap= close sketch and keep sketch visible.

    Or hide only if complete sketch is extruded and don't hide if only partial sketch is selected.

    That sounds perfect.  Good call.

    Just voted - took me a minute to figure out how the new feature request upvoting thing works.
