Currently there is a lot o "right click" to do X in EVE, and I find that it's a bit frustrating. How fast I can right click, find a bookmark and click on "Warp to 0" sometimes is the difference between me getting out of harms way, while those who are scanning can simply click on the arrow on their scanner window and are brought right too me.

The feature I am proposing would basically make Bookmarks (personal and corporate) an item you can add it your overview, so if we have a safe POS in system instead of having to Right click, scroll down to the right folder and then continue as the menu slowly opens.

I can also see this as a good thing for PVPers in wormholes. You send in your scout who finds the farmers, and sets a BM in the combat site they are running , when their squad comes into the wh they automatically have the bookmark of the farmer in their overview, so they can just click and warp to 0 and start their attack.

Good for wormholers as well because now their bookmarked POSes and other assets show up in the overview so they can use their overview in the wormhole.

I'd like to right click less. Say I am with a group in null PVPing and I as the scout find prey, having a module, or even a special "flare probe" that I can launch into space that acts as a local beacon for people to warp too kind of the way a Cyno acts as a beacon for capitals to Jump too. Just like a cyno anyone could warp to it friend or foe so it has it's disadvantages, but it only lasts for a limited time say 3 minutes because it's a one time use as a probe, otherwise it could use ozone or something else as a fuel it's a module. I like the idea of a flare better because being a sitting duck like a cyno not so fun.

The less right clicking I have to do the better!
