Ship information in second window

[Hupf]

After tediously managing ship settings in a fleet by jumping back and forth between the (left-hand-side) "my property" and the (left hand side) "information" panel for each ship, I was today years old when I learned that you can open a second information pane on the right like this:

One suggestion in this regard: my workflow has been right-clicking on each ship in the list and selecting "Information" from the context menu. Would it be more desireable to prefer opening the second/right-hand-side pane automatically in that case?

Not necessarily. There are circumstances where I prefer to have ship info open on the left-hand side & filter settings open on the right, particularly when I'm setting up trade runs for my ships. Need to have quick access to the filter settings in such situations so I can adjust which wares are shown, minimum volume, etc (the good trades near each ship often vary a fair bit depending on where each ship is). Could be frustrating if the right-hand side automatically switched to ship info every time I selected a new ship, I'd then have to manually select ship info on the left & switch the right back to filters.

Agree. I think it is a great option to have but I prefer default as is. In a far future perhaps Egosoft could move into a window based ui, letting us have as many windows open as we would like and placed where we want.

Can this right-hand-side Info window be toggled by a keybind ? I couldn't find anything relevant in the settings !
