Comment (by afercia):

 Was doing some research for an internal project and stumbled upon this:

 Microsoft Writing Style Guide
 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/welcome/

 A–Z word list and term collections: "toggle"
 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-
 collections/t/toggle

 > Don't use as a verb. Instead, use switch, turn on, or turn off with the
 name of the toggle or command to describe what the customer must do.

 (see to the full recommended use there)

 If anyone knows of other writign style guides, please do feel free to
 share.
