Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.17134 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 560/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 391.35

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.80 (sub 51), branch: blender2.7, commit date: 2019-03-21 23:13, hash: 1ae6aaad43

Short description of error
Turn off 4,5,6,... collections visibility hotkeys when you in edit mode. I found myself always frustrate when I want to turn on edit mode[face], but suddenly press key 4 and after that I need to restore[revert] visability of all layers back. It happens quite often and very annoying.
At first I post in on RightClick but there Pablo says "Pablo Vazquez: That's more of an oversight from the implementation than a feature proposal. Please report it!"

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open default. Create 4-5 different standart objects and put each of them in to separete collection. Then choose one of first 3 object [in outliner list] and press edit mode. Then press button 4, and you will se that current object with edit mode dissapeared and from collection 4 will arise in usual mode.

@pablovazquez @ideasman42

This behavior definitely seems wrong. If we are using the 1-3 number keys for the selection modes, it makes no sense to keep 4-9 for Collection visibility.

I think we should just not use 4-9 in Edit mode - this frees up keys for users to add hotkeys to tools as they wish instead.

I still think switching collections with 1-9 in object mode is also weak, simply because it's not predictable and screws up your scene visibility too easily, but that's another issue.

Disabling these keys in edit-mode seems reasonable (all edit modes, then the keys can be free in other edit-modes too).

@ideasman42 Yes, agreed. Then it's nicely consistent, and users can use those keys in all the edit modes.

This was changed for studio/blender-studio#55921 (Toggling visibility for collections doesn't work in Pose mode), but should only apply to object and pose mode and I think.

Agreed. Collections in reality are more complicated than just 1-9. Not a topic for this bug though, let's talk about it during the homestretch.

Hey Pablo, have you ever ended up discussing this?
This is pretty bad UX, I'm constantly hitting them accidentally either by misclicking Q and W or just because I think I'm in edit mode.
I just figured I can undo this with Ctrl+Z but before that I was trying all modifier key combinations if I can maybe reverse what I just did. There was no way.
Also I'm working with tons of nested collections now. This high level hide doesn't help me much. I rather "exclude them from view layer" if anything.

I know, I can turn them off in the keymap (and I just did) but I still think this should be up for debate as a default behavior.

Cheers
