Suggestion:

1) Make info pop-up window customizable (window that pops up when you hold down Ctrl while hovering cursor over item). 

This is such a great way to make key info handy but it's usefulness is restricted by having no control over the info shown. 

I'm not going to argue about what's shown because everyone will have their own idea about what's important (though I can't resist questioning why the pop-up shows the item contents when you are already hovering over the item and can see the contents directly.)

All the things I'd like to see here are available elsewhere, of course, but it would be more convenient to have them in a pop-up.  My side pane is filled with Forms, and I don't like having to re-arrange things and dig down thru several layers to find properties info (then having to close everything up to get back to normal).

2) Alternative: make info in the grid header bar customizable.  There's a lot of wasted prime real estate here that could be put to good use (right now it just shows the grid source).

We already have a precedent with the Main Title Bar Caption being customizable (but this bar cannot display any item info, I don't believe).

Didn't get a response on making the info pop-up customizable so I'll try a different approach.

Is there any way we could make requests for info we'd like to see in the info pop-up?  It seems to me that the space could be put to better use than the present set up.  There's a lot of wasted blank space and I don't see the point of duplicating the item content at the bottom.

Here a few suggestions I'd like to see shown:

1) Parents

2) Grandparents

3) Item values.

4) Home grid

Again, I know this info is available elsewhere but there's value in making it handy no matter what kind of column and pane set up you're using at the moment.

This would be very useful for me. I would like to see: 1) Parents (with each parent name shown), 2) "Shown in # grids", and 3) "Related Items: #". Having a user-configurable view would seem to be the best approach, if possible. Thanks.
