Key Navigation and Invisible Controls

I have a number of Boolean controls that have been associated with function keys thru the "Key Navigation" option. For the sake of computational overhead, I would love for the controls to be "invisible" on the front panel and yet still able to be toggled by the keys. Is this possible? I know how to make controls invisible using a property node, but this seems to totally disable the control. Thanks.

Indeed controls are disabled when made invisible (for the obvious reason). Instead of making them invisible, put them offscreen, e.g. outside the window's border.

Thanks, but they already are located off screen. Does
locating them off screen help with the computational overhead of them being front panel objects at run time?
My hunch would be not, as they can simply be scrolled to. If so, then I guess that's the answer.
