Oh, I forgot to mention, I can do it without any key presses because of this: http://jrbabcock.home.comcast.net/flightgear/scripts/mice.xml I bound my scroll wheel to zoom in look mode. It takes me at most two mouse clicks, two mouse movements and two scroll wheel movements to get there and back. I also changed the head motion bindings a bit. Also, have you considered looking into OpenGC? It won't give you the MSFS like functionality of dragable sub windows, but I think it would allow you to make arbitrary windows to display instruments in cutouts.
