I'm using the built-in AE tracker with 4 points. The layer window is getting terribly cluttered with all of the other points and their connecting lines. I looked under "View" but none of the options give me what I need. I'm figuring there probably isn't an easy way to hide/show those rotten buggers but if somebody knows a secret, please share.
Thanks,

Goto AE's Preferences - and head into the Display Section. The Motion Path Section at the top allows you define the time duration of keyframes you want to view.
BTW, if you're using 4-point tracking in AE, there's a very high probability that you will obtain better tracking results with the bundled BorisFX MochaAE planar tracker.
Each trackpoint has its own eyeball icon. Switch it of, to make the points in the comp viewer invisible

When I use AE's point tracker I almost always turn off all keyframes so the Layer panel stays uncluttered. I change preferences all the time. I also change workspaces all the time. It is a more efficient way to work.

But this also removes the tracker itself from the view, which makes it a bit pointless if you're simply trying to double check that a tracker is set correctly while fixing the track point on that frame.

... and as an additional remark: In general, I highly recommend to use the mocha Plugin that is bundled with Ae for any serious tracking tasks. If you want to track four points, most likely you want to do something like a corner pin. For this, mocha will give you much better results that Ae's point tracker.
