RE: Diferrence between Hide & Blank
"Blank" was the old name, "hide" being the new name. I think it was renamed because "blank" didn't translate well into other languages.

No, it was "Unblank" where we had a problem.
"Unblank" is not a word in English or any other language. If you never realized this, try opening a Word document and typing "unblank" and see what the spell-checker tries to do with that. So if we can't even find "Unblank" in OUR dictionary how do we expect to find it in any of the OTHER dictionaries in the world? English is a really great language when it comes to creating new words which everyone will understand. After all, you won't find "UnCola" in the dictionary either, but we all know exactly what it means. So even if we all KNOW what a particular made-up word means to US, it would still be ill-advised to insist on using it in a context where it HAD to be accurately translated, thus our change in terminology.
One last note, in a concession to reality, we decided to not mess up people any more than we had to (expect of course all the people who have only recently started using NX) so the keyboard shortcut for "Hide" is still 'Ctrl+B'

You really shouldn't use either "hide" or "immediate hide" to hide forever - there are better ways to do that.
