Collapse everything is what I’m looking for, maybe you didn’t see that. Don’t Need to expand everything, I need to collapse everything at once to keep the layers clean and easy to work with.

Is there a way to toggle a layers visibility via a shortcut key?

Sorry, Jet, but something being "in-vogue" has nothing to do with it. And yes, it is used in creating physical parts by a lot more companies than just Apple. It's called a C3 curve in manufacturing and CAD and it's used to create corners that smoothly transition from one surface to another. If you don't see the benefit, please ignore the post.
When something comes along that is clearly better, it should be embraced, in my opinion. This has nothing with a single implementation of "squircles". It's about ALL rounding algorithms in general as I said in my original post. Apple simply uses it in their graphics because it mirrors their manufacturing processes, and they (and I) think it looks better. If it was used by default, it would more likely adopted across the board and we could stop using the old (hideous) curves.

This is similar to Apple surface finishing for real products. It might seem like a small thing, but visually it makes a difference.

Should be the default in my opinion, but Affinity really needs to add this functionality into the rounded rectangle tool and any other rounding algorithms.
 
Short answer: "Squircles" are what make Apple products have "more than rounded" corners.

Thanks @dominik, but I don't need to "see" the combs, I just want to be able to have "rounder"/smoother curves like the above diagram shows.

No, I agree 100%. I actually looked there more than once before posting here. Options like this shouldn’t be hidden only on right-click. I actually wasn’t aware there was aright click menu for layers.
 
In addition: why is there ONLY ONE THING in that menu but like 10 things that only are available IF you know about right click?

Is there a way to Collapse EVERYTHING inside a Group (subGroups, subsubGroups, etc) by clicking the arrow on the parent Group in the Layers panel?
 
In Photoshop, you can Option+LMB click it and everything collapses, so when you re-open the Group in the Layers panel it's all collapsed.
 
If this doesn't exist in any form, please consider this a feature request.
 
 
Thanks!

Thanks Walt, that worked! Not sure why though as I've never modified the defaults. It happened on my other machine as well. 

Copied a square from Fontlab 6 and this is what's on the clipboard:

It's not highly proprietary, Fontlab 6 uses “Adobe Illustrator AICB Clipboard Format”. I can copy between Illustrator and Fontlab, back and forth all day long and it works perfectly. Affinity is the app where it doesn't work back and forth.
As for what's on the clipboard, look a page before this and you'll see.

Did anyone ask WHY these buttons are missing? I use this functionality constantly and there's tonnes of room up there for them.
 
I shouldn't have to dig into some menu to find them.
