dot e6b

 Shawk,

 Correct me if I'm wrong but you want to be able to open E6B without using the mouse?

  It would seem to me that you could accomplish this by opening E6B on climbout and just close/minimize the clipboard so that when your all shot up and dont have a free hand that all you'd need do is open the clipboard and E6B would be displayed.

 I have another question if you dont mind,if you dont have a free hand to use the mouse would you have the dot command programed like you have the .ef?

 Personally,I like the idea myself but it's sort of redundant as a single keystroke will do this provided you set the clipboard up when you start a new sortie,then again your wish would remove the need to setup the clipboard.

I like the idea personally....

I can see where SHawk is coming from.  I am right handed and have the stick in my right hand.  Taking my hand off the stick when damaged leads to some pretty funny situations 

Since I can type very well and the keyboard is in front of me I can simply type the / .e6b command and get it to  come up without having to relinquish control of the aircraft.  Using the mouse with my left hand is about as effective for me as someone trying to herd cats.

My solution to this problem, as mentioned earlier, is to have the e6b up and use the throttle mapped hat for e6b.  I must admit that I frequently pull up lots of things in the "slideout" on the clipboard and getting shot up without the having the e6b leaves me in trouble.

what you guys need is for e6b to be in its own pop up window. but nobody is asking for it.
