single word requests - To be able to toggle something
So I'm programming something, and it has the property to be toggled. Now I want to enable or disable this property. In other words, I want to toggle the toggle property.
This property, whether or not something can be toggled, should it be called 'Togglable' ? If not, what should I call it?
Answer
Adding -able to transitive verbs is still a fairly productive process in today's English.
Since toggle is a transitive verb, you should be able to form toggleable (meaning "able to be toggled") and be understood, even if the reader has never seen the word before. There are lexical exceptions which -able doesn't usually attach to (beware, want, loathe, etc.) but I don't believe toggle is one of them.
When you add -able, the syllablic /əl/ in toggle is likely to become a regular /l/, becoming the onset of the following syllable. This is called syncope and is sometimes reflected in spelling--particularly in derivations like these as there's no history to force the spelling one way or the other--so you might instead spell it togglable.
Of course, as jmadsen points out, there's no reason you have to add -able. But you can if you like.
