Description
Your idea
When "Toggle multibar rests" is toggled with a keyboard shortcut, there should be a visual feedback, such as a toast popup that says "Multibar rests ON", or perhaps an indicator somewhere.
Problem to be solved
I had no idea this feature even existed. I added some bars, and multibar rests were created, with no evident way to split them. It was frustrating to fumble around and search around to eventually discover that I had probably accidentally pressed Shift-Cmd-M at some point and enabled it.
Some feedback at the time I did it would have avoided this problem.

Research direction
Start by locating the Toggle multibar rests action and its keyboard-shortcut handling in MuseScore. Check how other toggles provide visual feedback, then implement feedback that clearly reports whether multibar rests are enabled or disabled and verify it by toggling the shortcut.
