I know what you mean...although a big part for me was I didn't use it often enough to become good at hitting the right keys. For some, having to use the menu during flight will be just as disasterous. >From a user interface point of view, the current mouse setup is pretty lame anyway. Anyone ever crash because they had the mouse in control mode when they went to use the menu in a hurry? Oh well...maybe it's just me :-) It doesn't seem that we have the Fly! problem though or we don't have to. What I'm suggesting is that we use another key for the limited number of views and leave 'v/V' alone. If folks really want to use 'v/V' for something shorter then we could move the full list of views to another key. But I think we can come up with some clever bindings to make something more useful. What do folks think about the idea of using CTRL+v to bring up the cockpit as it does now and then if CTRL+v is hit again when the cockpit is already displayed, make it toggle over to the chase view? Thus CTRL+v will be used to toggle between the two most used views and 'v/V' will still be used for scrolling through the rest. Another option would be to put the seldom used "hotspot" display that is now on CTRL+c somewhere else and make that the key for toggling between cockpit and chase views.
