No, it's shift COMMAND h, not control

Is there a way to selectively hide layer handles? I'm trying to get a handle on a composition that has layer bloat...

If you're looking to hide controls for specific layer types, then yes.
Under View > View Options, you'll find a variety of ways to fine-tune what's shown.

If you're wanting something more specific than this, you're looking at some third-party tools. Many of these have semi-overlapping functionality, and not all are directly relevant to your question, so just providing a list of possible options for workflow woes:

Thanks!

Another thing I learned since posting this is how each view can have it's own view options - which seems pretty useful. And that you can open another viewer if you want more than 4 views.

Sort of a follow up question : is there a way to have more than 3 custom views? I've been using different cameras as a kind of work around... thanks !
