How many knew the Tab key hides components?
(OP)
After 11 years of using SW, I've just discovered that the Tab key can be used to hide components.
Either select or even just hover the cursor over a part and hit the Tab key, and the part is hidden. Shift Tab combination will show the part.

Someone from the main SW forums has been finding it detrimental to his workflow, with parts accidentally being hidden.

Has anyone found this new function to be helpful or harmful?

Which had it in 2008 release of 3dVia Composer.
Tab could be used like right button in select other to temporarily remove items from screen. or return using Shift+Click which Select Other can also do. I wish that Select Other could be hotkeyed. H likewise was used to hide objects permanently.
Slowly but surely they'll have all sorts of functionality shared between SolidWorks, 3dVia Composer, Catia.
If you haven't seen it yet I'm awaiting SolidWorks getting 3dVia's Digger Tool.
Check out the following video demo of it.
The X-ray and SectionPlaneTool options are frigging Awesome.

Anyone found a way to disable this function

Workaround is to train your self to press the Ctrl key before touching the Tab key. You have to do that anyway when "flipping" through different documents in SW, & different apps in Windows.
