    emacs -nw


Uh, that's a bit overkill, dontcha think?

I want regular Emacs, with window-manager support and all the rest,
including image display in general. I just want to be able to toggle display
of images on and off. Just as one can do in a Web browser.

What about this am I not expressing clearly? What about "user option" and
"toggle command" is unclear enough to elicit a response like "emacs -nw"?

If the answer is "there is no such feature" yet, that's OK. I'll then
suggest to emacs-devel that we add such toggling. For now, I'm just trying
to see if this exists.
