Provide a 'hide all, show one' option for cloze deletions?
If such an option existed, it would allow users to more easily elide all but a single cloze at a time. Currently they are using nested clozes to approximate this, and it performs poorly+is limited in nesting depth.
One big question is how this might be implemented. If it were some flag in individual clozes, it would be confusing if a field had a mix of the two. We could potentially do it as a separate cloze notetype, though it would be a little awkward to switch between the two. Thoughts?

The flag can make a cloze show up as inactive cloze in every card which means if same field has clozes without the flag they won't be used like that. Would that be confusing?
I think best to make it an option in the note type.
I just saw this as I was trying to find out how to do just this. Basically, I have a cloze note with 13 cards. I want to hide all the other answers, but still show the embeded hint. For example: {{C1::The::definite article}} cat is in {{C2::a::indefinite article}} hat. So I would like to show on the front of C1 the card: The [definite article] is in [indefinite article] hat. (with a color change for the close) And for the C2 card, emphasize the 2nd one.
I was trying to make a new note type to do this as I thought it was something that was already set up. Basically, I think best to make it an option in the note type.
@studentjunk Have shared a JS script that does exactly that. https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/template-to-hide-all-clozes-while-testing-on-one/61750
I agree it probably make sense to have an option in the note type to turn on hide all.
Thanks @brishtibheja. I don't have time now to look at the code, but this is almost what I need. My problem is I need all the hints visible. My use is taking a language assignment that requires conjugating the verbs.
But I need to be able to see the infinitive forms of all the verbs on the page (which would be the hints). I'll post what I did in your link as it appears more appropriate there.
In case this is helpful, the "show one, hide the rest" cloze can already be achieved via a custom Note type, as explained here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/1l99cq3/i_give_you_inverse_cloze_note_type
