CTRL+Click in mini map

Please give us the option to hide or show minimap icons by CTRL+clicking them in the mini map.

CTRL+Left click on an objet in minimap could bring up the same meny system as when left clicking but the options could instead be:

Hide icon
Show icon


Clicking any of them would then check or uncheck the object in the Icon Settings menu

I'd rather see groups in the icons settings menu.
Make friends with the other crabs or try to escape the bucket.

I don't quite understand how you would Ctrl-click the object to show its icon when there is currently no icon shown.

Good point.

But in world view the objects are always visible :)

So instead of adding something like "Enable minimap icon" to the right click context menu like some custom clients do one solution for this could be a simple "CTRL+click" the object in the world to toggle minimap icon.

Summary

Hide object minimap icon - CTRL+click object in minimap or in world. (Use game camera or minimap)

Toggle show/hide object minimap icon - CTRL+click object in world (Use game camera)

(Could of course be re-bindable in keybindings)

Player scenario example

While adventuring I often find myself spotting something with the camera I want to enable or hide in the minimap but I don't always know the tree/enemy/object name. Best case scenario, Inspect tool works and I can prepare myself mentally for the non searchable very long minimap icon list. If Inspect tool doesn't show name I need to manually find the object in the minimap icon list.

I would love to be able to filter out minimap icons with a simple click on the objects I see in game camera. And with the same keybinding toggle icon back. No need to know object name nor use the minimap icon list.

did you try to start typing icon name while icon list is in focus? or is that my custom client feature.
