Xray mode in Adobe Illustrator
There should be an Xray mode in Adobe Illustrator similar to what we have in Blender 3D.
When toggled on from a keyboard shortcut, this should allow the user to temporarily view all the objects (Paths, including appearances) to be slightly transparent and allow the user to select objects that are behind each other or at the bottom of the stacking order.
The outline view is good but not enough. I still can't select paths behind each other and don't show appearances so can't actually see what I'm selecting if artwork has similar shapes stacking there.
Thanks Adobe!

Usama, I agree on the appearance (and that’s one of main reason Outlines exist — to ignore appearance), but why can’t you select paths behind other paths? You mean by clicking their fills, not the outlines? Can you please elaborate on this, give some examples?
