A "Hide All Variables" Block [includes discussion about "Show all Variables" as well]

support + bump. This would be extremely useful for lots of my heavily-coded projects.

Support for hide all, but no support for show all. Most variables in a project never need to be shown to the user.

That might not always be the case, and you could have like a stats screen that shows all of the stats, but then hides when you leave the screen.

But you'd still not show variables that keep track of, like, the game state.

Maybe there could be sth to only show/hide all variables available to the sprite that the block is in? You could then use the sensing block to get the values of the other variables.
