Ugh I just wanted to add another couple of tabs to my overview (I'm already using the SaraShawa pack with my own modifications) and forgot that we're currently restricted to 5 tabs at most, so I fully support this idea.

CCP gib moar tabs naow (or at least sooner rather than Soon™) ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ please?!

Yes I support any move away from clicking actions. Clicking requires an accurate motion with the mouse, and of course the physical movement of the mouse away from controlling the ship. Hotkeys allow you to manipulate the client in place.

It's not just an issue of the mouse travelling to the tab, it's the time it takes to travel back to tactical readiness. Your eyes, as well.

If you can switch overview tabs with hotkeys, even cycle through them, your mouse cursor is free to prepare for more practical things.

Help, I can't download EVE

This exactly.

CCP can you seriously just start a Dev team devoted to simple improvements like this, and the multitude of other obvious +1s in F&I, that everyone just instantly agrees are good ideas.

I will manage it, for only $85,000/yr

I think we need more optional overview tabs, not neccesarily more hotkeys I make due with 5 but i have literally 100+ overview presets ranging from Friendly Fleet, Hostile Tackle, Hostile Cruisers, Hostile Caps, Supers, An alert system for bubbles and probes, the list goes on and on.

Not saying i dont like the idea

♣ Small Gang PVP, Large Fleet PVP, Black Ops, Incursions, Trade, and Industry ♣ 70% Lethal / 30% Super-Snuggly / 110% No idea what im doing ♣

You will have this overviews for ship only or to a wreck only, and others, 99 in sum, and you wil remember them and you will have every shortcut remembered, is that right? Lol
Bind shortcut to overview tab is all we need, nothing else.

One thing I would love is if CCP would allow me to have one session that can span onto dual screens. It would have the 'space' and ship view on one side, and only all my UI stuff on the second side.

No of course I won't be able to remember or even map 99 different presets or states, but even 10 would be amazing.

We need shortcuts for overview tabs, at the very least.

We also should get more overview tabs, for sure.

But to give us hotkeys for any given overview preset would be even more useful. Clickers could still use the tabs to change between 5 different overviews just like now, but people like me could use hotkeys to change between 10-15 even faster.

The "whole UI state" presets would be the best thing to happen to EVE UI since 2003.

Maybe I am missing what you are asking for. But I do this now. All my chat, HUD, overview, targets, probes, necom are on my left screen, and the right has Space, my ship, and sometimes my Cargo Hold and that is all.

I am running a Fixed Window size of 3840x1080 running a GTS450.

Doing this is slightly problematic if you use monitors with different vertical resolutions though.

How faster it would be to identify target of interest when you have 15 different overviews to remember and switch thru them when you need it? I think 5 is enough, have been enough for 12 years. For different activities you can even import the settings now.
