I used to have a shortcut to toggle 'Display Only' option in 2.7 but in 2.8 that no longer works and I have to click the 'Display Overlays' button manually which is annoying. Does anyone know how to setup a keyboard shortcut like that?

$\begingroup$ Was just a short-lived bug, it seems. I assigned a hotkey for this via the context (right-click) menu recently. Don't know when the fix came in but it's no later than 6/4/19 (date of my current build). $\endgroup$– B LayerCommented Jun 11, 2019 at 4:49

I got it, you need to set up a hotkey manually, this is not accessible from the right-click menu:
- Hit F4 to get to the Settings Menu and go to Keymap
- Open 3D View > 3D View (Global)
- Scroll to the bottom and hit the + Add New Button, to add a new Key-Binding
- Enter
wm.context_togglein the Context Field - The Context Attribute Field will now appear. Set it to
space_data.overlay.show_overlays - Don't forget to save your Hotkey Settings

$\begingroup$ While you did not specify what version you are using, in the ones past 2.90, you can just right click the overlay toggle and type in your hotkey directly. If you have already set a custom one up, Enter wm.context_toggle, Context Attributes: Space_data.overlay.show_overlays and leave Module blank. $\endgroup$– BenCommented Jun 8, 2021 at 13:08

Alt/Option + Shift + Z Works for me in 2.82a, mac version.

1$\begingroup$ Can confirm that
Alt+Shift+Zworks for Blender 2.92 on Linux. Usually, the relevant shortcut is shown in the tooltip - odd that this isn't the case for Display Overlays. $\endgroup$ Commented May 22, 2021 at 13:27 -
$\begingroup$ @GeorgeHawkins, Thanks, man. Was looking for the shortcut in Linux version here. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 10, 2021 at 17:46
