Hotkey for DM tools

Can we get some hot keys for switching into different modes on the map.

Example if we want to unmask an area, we have to unlock the map then goto the masking then drag over the area.
Can we get this with a key combo of say like ALT SHIFT drag? or something?

Other things would be like:
masking an area - CTRL SHIFT left click drag
Locking/Unlock Token Toggle - Shift F1 (yes I know it's already on the hotbar but most don't use that many hotkey hot bar items)

The issue goes being that mentioned by MrDDT. There are times when you want to turn graphical items on and off. But the third setting (only DM sees it) creates a problem where the DM cannot tell if the item is visible or not, and so you cycle through the three options, and are forced to show the PC's whatever might have been hidden.

I had this happen when I was trying to figure out what was going on with a door, that my players good see when they had their mouse over it. I had to toggle through the Walls layer and all the Walls turned off for a few moments, giving everyone a view of the whole dungeon.

This seems to be too picky a set of selections, and it's hard to tell what the DM sees versus what the players see.
