Bug Description

Kicad offers the concept of selection of individual layers to view or hide as well as render or not render object types (e.g. part references).

I'm missing a capability of storing a preset view combination, so that I would be able to define a visibility set of layers/renders. I'd define buttons for emphasizing views of front elements with and without silk, bottom elements, inner layer, etc.
This allows for quick switching of layer views, and could make the so called high contrast mode superfluous, when individual color setting would be part of such custom presets.
