Change map shading depending on zoom automatically
I almost always want to use map shading, however, I find myself often switching between "hill shading" and "Slopes". This being in quick settings helps, but it is still several taps:
1. quick settings
2. longpress "Map shading"
3. Settings
4. do the desired change
However, there is a pattern. When I zoom out, I want hill shading, as it gives me better idea about the shape of mountains unlike "slopes". However, when zoomed in, it reverses, while "hill shading" is still useful, often I want "slopes" as it gives me a much better idea than plain contour lines where I should avoid if I do not want to fall to my death/die in an avalanche.
Now, this might be tricky UI wise but I think it is surmountable with two things:
1) Each shading would have a setting "show at these zoom levels" and either a series of checkboxes for each zoom level or better a slider where one could set an interval. That would also solve:https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/map-shading-is-there-a-reason-why-we-have-to-choose-between-hill-shading-vs-slopes-color as multiple shadings could ve overlayed, though I would not want to use that myself. "Colored elevation already has a submenu, so each type would have its own submenu.
2) Each type of shading would have its own Quick settings, so one could toggle it with one tap.
I assume most people would only use one or two, but this would let people choose what they prefer.
