Bug Description
HI.
I have a feature request. I often use two set of grids, and the # keyboard button will enable or disable all grids.
Because I shift between the two grids all the times, it takes times to go into the document property menu to make the shift of grids.
I therefore suggest that if there is more than one sets of grids, the # keyboard button cycles through the grids.
Example of cycling through two grids, grid1 and grid2:
* All grids disabled
* grid1 enabled
* grid2 enabled
* grid1 and grid2 enabled
Since I never use three set of grids, I have not got a decent idea on how the cycling through 3 grids should work.
Thanks

For 3 or more grids, I can think of two useful options:
(1) Cycle through
* All grids disabled (optional)
* Grid 1
* Grid 2
* Grid 3
* All grids enabled (optional)
(2) A user-defined cycle list, so the user can define, for example:
* Grid 1 and grid 2
* Grid 1 and grid 3
* Grid 3
In this case, the cycle list could default to
* "All grids disabled" and "All grids enabled", mimicking the current behavior
* The cycle described in option (1)
In any case, it might be useful to keep the current behavior of disabling all grids and and adding a "cycle grid" key instead of replacing the current behavior.
