@lispington (Lispington) posted a new topic, subject "Erase and Hide from the right click menu". It read:

   Would moving the Erase and Hide further away from each other (in the menu system) be a problem? They both make stuff dissapear. But one is more permanent than the other. I think if I was working at speed, I could miss the hide from the erase.
    
    I hope you understand.
    
    Process:
    
      1. Right click, Hide… oops I slipped the mouse up to erase (didn't notice)
      2. Hey it Hid
      3. work… work … work… save, save ,save
      4. Unhide…
      5. where did it go?
      6. Back to a backup…

    This would be a good idea.

    That happened to me last night, when unhide last hided group nada. I had even realize that they are next to each other

    > when unhide last hided group nada.
    
    Another good reason for using components instead of groups. If you'd erased a component, you could drag in a new instance of it from the In Model components collection.

After which, @Charevir added

    Get it!
    
    Tks

Then @eneroth3 (Julia Christina Eneroth) said

    If you assign a shortcut, e.g. Ctrl+H, for hide you will be able to model quite a bit faster and not risk deleting.
