# Toggling Source Visibility with Key Press

Normally, clicking the **eye icon** in the **Source List** toggles a source's visibility on and off:

However, there's a way to **quickly toggle a source's visibility on and off** with just a press of a key/click of a mouse. This is made possible using XSplit Broadcaster's **Macros** feature.

In this guide we're going to use an Image source to demonstrate.  

1. Make sure the **source is already added to the scene**.

2. Go to **Extensions > Macros**. The **Macros window** should appear.

3. Click the **+ icon** to add a new macro.

| If you already have other macros, you can instead click the **+ icon** at the **top-left portion of the window** to add a new one.

4. Choose and select **On key down** under **Event**. A new entry field should appear just below it.

5. Click the entry field once, then type in **your preferred key combination or mouse click**. In this guide we'll use **down arrow** as an example.

6. Under **Action**, select **Set source visibility** in the drop down menu. Three new dropdown menus should appear.

7. In **Select Scene**, select the **scene** where the source is added.

8. In **Select Source**, select the name of **the source you intend to use**.

9. In **Select visibility**, select **Toggle Visibility**.

| OPTIONAL: Don't forget to rename your Macro by clicking the **Pencil icon** at the top.

10. Check **Enable event listener** to activate the macro.

11. To ensure everything is working, it's best to use the **Test button** located at the upper right corner of the Macros extension window. Close the window when done.

Go back to your scene. Pressing the assigned key should now toggle the visibility of the source on and off.
