Track matte pick whip – modifier to NOT turn off matte visibility

Would be nice to add a feature when selecting with the whip an obect to use as mask to Hold Down CTRL or ALT or CMD and not hide the mask automatically.

Comparisons to the Shift+select or ALT+select parenting behavior definitely make sense here, though we obviously have more options and this can get complex quickly! Between this and the ability to easily create luma or inverted mattes without additional clicks, there are some great opportunities to save users time, though.

Personally, I'd probably lobby for Shift+select keeping the matte visible, as that's the one I'm most likely to use more often, and I feel like that aligns with the "move me to parent" behavior already in my brain. But ALT/Opt maybe makes more sense .... conceptually?

Honestly, between CTRL/CMD, ALT/Opt & Shift, I don't know that I have strong feelings about which maps to which function, as long as we get them!

Alt+Pickwhip would be good for this!

I frequently wish this was the default behavior but a modifier key would do just as well.

+1. These days, I'm keeping my matte layers visible as often as I want them hidden.

I'd also love ot see this. With this new system there are many times I want to keep a visible art layer as a matte.

First: I absolutely love selectable Track Mattes. I use them quite a lot right now, but more often than not I find myself needing the Track Matte layer to still be visible. Could this be realized with a shortcut perhaps? Maybe Shift-Pickwhip will leave the visibility of the layer on?
