Request to not have to go through the clone/hide/select other/boolean/close boolean window for objects you want to use in subtraction and keep (like a hinge part, etc). A button in the tools would be nice for this. Example: press tool button/select part(s)/select subtracted part(s)/confirm…have option to keep both parts.
