I checked the forums and the 10,000 suggestions document, so I hope this hasn't been previously suggested.

I think it would be awesome to have a window which let you list anything you want. For example, you're following your standings with one corp out of 100 on your list, you can send it to your favourites window. You also have a place saved in space that you use a lot, and send that to the favourites window. You have a couple of agents and a specific station you're always setting destination to, and can put them in too.

So now you've got a window that has a list of stuff you use a lot, which dramatically reduces the number of repetitive searches and stuff that you do. Instead of clicking the character sheet and waiting for it to load up, you've got the exact information that it would show for your chosen corp delivered straight to the favs window. You can start a conversation with an agent, set a destination, and keep an eye on everything in a single window.

These specific examples are off the top of my head, but I can't imagine I'm the only person who has a handful of things they're regularly repeating over and over, and having a customisable space that you can view it all seems like a good time saver. Kind of like the homescreen of your smartphone, where all the things you use most are right there all the time.

Open the ingame notepad. Type in the name of the corp you're following and right-click link it. Press enter.

Jump into the system where your bookmark is. Right-click in space and warp to your bookmark from the list.

While warping to your bookmark, type in the system your station is in. Right-click and link station, then select it from the list. Press enter.

Close the notepad... for now.

Your solution, while interesting, would be an enormous amount of coding and testing - not to mention that all of those things are displayed in totally different ways ingame. You can use the notepad for all those things in a way that unifies their display and requires no coding.
