How to toggle bulk text footprint visibility for KiCad 7

You can bulk edit the text and graphics properties (including visibility) by using the Edit->Edit Text and Graphic Properties dialog box. Simply select the "Scope" i.e. which items you wish to modify, and then toggle things such as Visibility on or off as desired. In your case, you wish to modify the Footprint label visibility, so you should select "Other symbol fields" and then fill in "Footprint" under "Filter other symbol fields by name" and then deselect "Visible (fields only)". You can also toggle things like bold/italics and text sizes. I'm surprised none of the other answers mentioned this dialog as it meets your requirements perfectly (perhaps it is a new feature in KiCad 6?)
