That's true. My proposed first toggle on/off should ignore what is set for the
sheet. 

> No user needs to use eight F4s on the same reference...

If the sequence is always the same with ABCDE, you may start at A going to B
and vice versa from B to A. One is easy to achieve the other not so. If you
always start from A even when the actual state is B, this is less of a problem,
of course. Changing from C to D would be a challenge then, however.

My point is that you cannot click through eight options in a reasonable time.
We may a) reduce the number of options or b) make it easier to access by
changing the sort order according the probability of needs.

I have some doubts in these "smart" functions, on the other hand. It takes a
lot of assumptions and might be annoying for users. I can understand if you
reject my comments. Justin's idea is an improvement by itself.
