    Prayers here.

    Mine:

    -Ability to full-screen the active viewport.

    -Ability to toggle entity visibility without making their effects disappear (such as lights).

    -Ability to edit key binds

    Here you go

    Features I would like to see:

    - Copy transform matrix shortcut

    - Replace feature. You press ctrl+r and asset browser pops up and you can replace current selection with something from asset browser.

    - Different 3d mesh for omni light

    - Would be great for hammer to loose focus on a textbox after you wrote entity name so we don't accidentally press 'T' for transform and seeing obsolete icon.

    - Omni light should have its own 3d model. Right now it looks like a light_spot

    - And as for light_spot 3d model. The arrow pointing in the direction of light_spot is cool and all but everytime i mistake it for being a transform gizmo arrow

    My own personal wish would be access to the tool they used to make the tilesets for TileMeshes in the HLA "mode" of the workshop tools. Would make creating tilesets much faster.

    (Brushes don't exist anymore) Being able to make a mesh at the same height would be fantastic, second that big time.

    You can hide unselected but if you want to unhide unselected you have to do it from the selection menu. Should get an additional option to show unhidden IMO.

    That works just fine for me using the hotkeys (CTRL+H and U).

    You’re referring to hide, I’m referring to hide unselected, which is everything not selected.

    H = hide selected

    Ctrl + H = hide unselected

    Right? I'm starting to doubt myself :P

    I haven’t tried doing the hot key to hide unselected, I’ve only done it from the menu. So If it’s true that U unhides when you do hide unselected with the hot key, but not if you do it from the menu, that’s kind of weird.

    I just checked and both hiding/unhiding (unselected) from the menu also works fine on my end.

    Strange, I will have to test that more today ?

    noice. i don't have that problem in 3dsmax tho ;0

    if you precisely click on a vert it should take priority over the gizmo imho. The gizmo has long enough arms where if you want to interact with it you still can by clicking anywhere along the 95% of the arms that aren’t occupied by a vertex.

    It's because of stuff like that I often just use marquee selections anyway, even if I'm selecting a single vert or edge, smoother than having to do a precision single click.

    Hammer's lasso selection works pretty well. I think you can also swap it's behavior from full object bounding box inside the lasso area drawn or just touching it.

    Started doing a few tests with this, now that I finished HLA. And I'm in love with the tilable meshes function, that paired with the ability to straight up model, texture map and vertex paint in editor is an absolute joy.
