Examine window

[Pineapple]

Does anyone know of a way to keep the examine window always open, or at least have it always open when an enemy/item/intractable is hard targeted?

I would find this extremely helpful for keeping an eye on debuffs and dot timers.

I'm not aware of any way to achieve this, but I often wish for it myself.

by default, if you press the y key (might be the z key on a US keyboard) the window is kept open. If you target another item or character, it switches to them.
However, if you deselect the target, the window disappears and you´ll have to press y again to bring it up again.

They could implement an option to keep it open to track an specific target.
And even another option to keep a window of this type always open to inspect ur current target.

Thanks, I did notice sometimes it would stay open changing targets. I guess I'll just have to get used to pressing that hotkey whenever I target something new.

Well, you can lock it to keep a specific examine window open, but you'll have to do it every time. Nice for raid bosses and party members I guess, not so much every random bozo.

Does locking it usually stay up between different phases of a boss? thinking THTH, FOM, or VoD.
