I’ve set up a functioning overview where I can see targets and distance to targets, have keybinds for warping, aligning, orbiting and such, so now I have a redundant ‘Selected Item’ window that’s taking up precious UI space. Is there a way to remove this window? Toggle it off? Or is there a reason I should keep it, that I may have missed? _(I only see a minimize button, but that’s not a permanent solution, it puts the window back every time I undock…)_ ---

Oh but I’m not asking for it to be removed for everyone. I’m just asking if there’s a toggle, which would be useful for people who use keybinds. ---

IIRC it cant be closed completely. You can put it in an area of the UI that wont interfere with normal operations long enough to minimize it. My best suggestion. ---

It never goes entirely away, but you can drag it onto the overview so that you get a window with “Overview” and “Selected Item” TABS. Then you just never switch to the selected item tab. I did this and managed to forget the Selected Item window even EXISTED for a few years, until somebody mentioned that you can set default orbit/keep at range distances from there… ---

> [@Imelda\_Virpio](#): > > drag it onto the overview so that you get a window with “Overview” and “Selected Item” TABS Once upon a time, I moved it behind the overview and forgot about it, but this suggestion is even better. ---

Awesome, how did I not think of that? Thanks! By the way, you can set default orbit/keep at range distances by rightclicking. I don’t even use the selected item tab for that. Edit: Nevermind, you can only choose the ranges from a list of options. If you want to set your own specific distance, the select item window is indeed the way to do it. ---

You can also set default orbit/keep at range distance from the radial menu that comes up when you left click & hold around your ship, but it’s not fun. Selected item window Just Works Better for that. ---

Another great option I didn’t know about! Click and drag range selecting is nice to have. ---
