I'd argue that this is a UI limitation. Having a fixed set of views works fine for N=3 or so, but forcing the user to cycle through 6 is just too much. Even explaining the difference between some of them is a chore. Why not add an extra menu where the user can select from a list, instead? Then the "v" key can toggle between cockpit mode (by convention always view 0) and whatever the last selection was (the default could be external view, currently view 1). This should remain easy to use up to N=10 or so. Andy -- Andrew J.
