One of the anomalies is that the Alpha buttons are vertical so they actually
increase the header real estate and the numeric ones are horizontal so they
also increase their header real estate.

I'm suggesting that the QR buttons and the individual conceal/reveal buttons
should always be visible and that the header toggle should just hide the
coordinate identifiers A:XFD and 1:1048576. Clearly, the length of the
coordinate ID implies the possibility of 7 activation buttons for the columns
but only 3 for rows as that's the "growth" limit of their numbering system.
Would it be feasible to allow the QR buttons to "overflow" the existing cell
boundaries to maintain visibility and somehow monitor the creation of
column/row groups to permit them to coexist? if you look at the sample I
attached it does demonstrate that you could maintain a vertical button array
"alongside the regular +- buttons for rows and a horizontal row above or below
the existing +- buttons

If they were aligned with their respective header in the existing locations
then they would only take up the same header profile as the regular QR and +-
buttons with the view toggle "on". Conversely if there are "many" grouped
columns/rows in the existing treatment then that in itself will increase the
real estate needed by the "Quick Response" buttons when the view toggle is
"on".

To activate them "en masse" you still have to bring headers back into view so
there's not really much to be gained from concealing them in the first place.
