This is a great idea. It will help me a lot!

In my opinion, better blocks for this would be:
hide all variables
show all variables
(Someone's probably already said this, but I'm too lazy to look at all the other replies XD)
They didn't make the blocks, someone else did.
Anyway, maybe it could also be “all variables”, since will anyone actually name their variable “all variables”?

I have a felling someone will. Anyway, ‘all variables’ is better then ‘all’.

I support this idea.

hide all variables

show all variables

I'm not sure if these blocks are actually useful cuz this only has use when there are like 16 variables in one project

subjectnamehere

why not just use hide/show variable blocks for each variables

This doesn’t seem very useful unless you have loads of variables on screen, which not many projects have. The most it’d do most of the time is save 3 blocks or so, so adding a whole block for that doesn’t seem like a great idea

Support, if you have a project that has any variable montors showing at any point you need to add that variable to

when green flag clicked
hide variable [ v]

Script
This can very quickly get out of hand as most advanced projects use huge ammounts of variables, and a majority of those show a large portion of said monitors
So usally your green flag script is gonna look something like this

when green flag clicked
hide variable [ v]
hide variable [ v]
hide variable [ v]
hide variable [ v]
hide variable [ v]
hide variable [ v]
hide variable [ v]
hide variable [ v]

Except like 30x over
This would just solve all of that

make all variables [shown v]::variables

make all variables [hidden v]::variables

Support. I'm making a project with like 100 variables (barely an exaggeration) and it would help a lot!

hide all variables ::variables

show all variables ::variables

Support, sometimes I make intensive projects with loads of variables so this can be useful

Support, but I do not think this block would be as usefull. What projects could this be used for?

Block idea:

hide all variables
