Is there a way to create a simple shortcut to activate / deactivate the plot pane?  
I find that the plot pane is useful for quick plots, but if I want to look at one particular plot in detail, zoom in, etc. I often prefer to have it open in a separate window.  
CTRL+, then search for plot and check (or unchek) the box is not that bad, but still, if I could toggle the plot pane with a simple key combination it would make me happy!
