Fontforge: Add 'View, Hide Unused Cells' to Font View

[davelab6]

Deron suggested:

Add a "Hide unused cell rows" to the Font View window's View menu.

This is similar to 'Encoding, Compact' but only affects the view and not the internals of the font at all.

It will also not change the order of the displayed glyphs, or cause any columns to shift around; and it would only hide completely empty rows in the view, and where they are hidden, show a thicker cell border line, to indicate that one or more rows are hidden.

Anyone doing this? Or is there some other way to jump to the next/previous defined glyph that I don't know? The scroll-fest is not fun.

😛 Ctrl + Alt + ] (and [)

I don't see why you can't just use Encoding -> Compact _temporarily_, and change it back to your target encoding when done.

Encoding -> Compact is indeed the solution, but I think its name could be improved for discoverability. For example, I found out about it by searching for 'hide unused glyphs' and arriving here (after looking at each menu separately). Perhaps rename it to 'Compact (hide unused glyphs)'?
