OMPlot: Double click on plot legend entry toggles hiding trace

Description
When working with OMPlot it is desired from time to time to hide/show variables from a certain variable set of interest.
To hide variables (to get a better plot overview), there are currently two options:
1.) Right click on legend entry->Setup->[]Hide
2.) Search that variable in the browser and untick the box
Both are not really convenient!
Consequently, I suggest that a double click on a plot legend entry (above the graph) toggles hiding of that trace

This is really sad... But one fact makes me think that this is still possible:
We can right-click on the legend and choose Setup. Then the setup pops up with exactly that trace selected in the list.
So we have (1) a click event on the whole legend and (2) an identifier of that trace. What else do we need?
It would be fantastic if this works as this would speed up signal investigation a lot.

OK. My comment was very impulsive. It seems like it is possible.
I will fix it.

No problem - you are fixing one of my tickets after the other - this is so great to follow.
*Makes my day*

I couldn't try out the new behavior yet. If you think this is handier, then sure, change it to a single click. Maybe a double-click could then open the trace setup...

Actually, in other plot programms like LTSpice, a double click will hide all other traces and will just display the double-clicked one. Maybe this is even better - but this is also a higher programming effort - you can decide.

I just wanted to propose an option to hide all signals in the popup menu on a right click. But mapping this to the double click would be even nicer!

Ok, cool! I just can say, that the behavior in LTSpice is very convenient (double click = hide all traces but this one)

Just summarizing all the proposals,
- Right click should show the context menu (the current behavior).
- Left click toggles the visibility.
- Double click hide all except this.
Anything I missed/misunderstood?

Done in 0466192/OMPlot.
The only minor problem I see is that when you double click then the curve first hides and then show. This is because first the single click event is raised and we toggle the visibility in it.

This is not possible. Since Qwt doesn't allow accessing items of the legend. I can only get click event on the whole legend and not on the individual legend items.
