January 1, 20215 yr If you cannot or just do not want to use a second screen for LilNavMap or Skypark, etc, then Windows has built in shortcuts to switch back and forth between programs on one screen. ......................................................YOUR WINDOWS TASKBAR............................................ Windows key + 7 shows MSFS. Windows key + 8 shows LilNavMap. You can drag taskbar icons to any position. If you put MSFS and LNM into positions 2 and 3, then they will stay there forever until you drag them away. Opening new programs puts their new taskbar icons on the right, which would not change position of those on the left. A programmable controller or programmable mini keyboard (e.g. a $20 programmable Keypad/Numpad) will allow a single push of button on that flight controller or that little keypad. One user here (I cannot find the original post) did this : A generic $20 programmable numpad (for instance from Amazon) becomes an autopilot controller (windows sees this numbpad as just a keyboard, like any other). You can program the windows key onto most of these devices, and most will allow 2 or 3 keyboard keys going onto one key, e.g. WindowsKey + 2 on one single auxiliary numpad key or Control+ Shift + Z. Lots of flightsticks etc. can be programmed to output keyboard combination keys too, using their proprietary software. So a button on a Yoke or numpad can bring up an app over top of MSFS, and another key would make the app disappear by selecting MSFS from the taskbar.
