Easier way to toggle grid on/off
This may be small but takes a lot of time up: I switch between seeing the grid and not seeing a lot. In XD I have to click on the artboard name for the grid show/hide shortcut keys work. Would be awesome if these would work anywhere in design mode.
Now, you can marque select all the artboards you want, then use Cmd + ’ (apostrophe) to turn grids on and off. Please let us know if it doesn’t cover your needs. Thanks.

This is still frustrating because you have to have a "current" art board selected or the toggle does not respond. For the artboard to be "current" there has to be an object selected in the art board (or the art board its self) selected for the toggle to work. most of the time i want to toggle the grid, nothing is selected. Maybe XD can determine which artboard is current based which artboard is focused on the viewport. Or keep the artboard "current" until a different artboard is selected?

I would prefer to have <CMD + ' > toggle the grid on/off on ALL art boards by default.
I too switch between seeing the grid and not seeing it a lot.
I personally do not have need to have grids on one artboard but off on another artboard.
I find this frustrating. Especially because I most often toggle the grid on/off when I am zoomed far in. Sometimes the dartboard title is off the page when I want to toggle the grid.

Yeah, we already have a shortcut for this: <CMD+'>. It works just fine.

It would be very helpful, because of all the back and forth that has to be made between selecting the artboard you're already in, go activate the grid, design whatever, then wanting to disable the grid. So we have to select back again the artboard we're already in, then go to the panel and deselect the grid. This is a lot of unuseful clicks.
In inDesign for example the 'W' key, that helps see the design as a proof and with all the layout, this would be awesome in XD.
Thanks

Currently you can press Cmd-' (apostrophe) to toggle the grid on/off for the *current* artboard (the one your selection is in), but there is not yet a global command to turn *all* artboards' grids off at once.

Yes and it would be good if there was a keyboard command for this. In illustrator it's cmd + '
Could we have this purrrrrrlease...?
