Checking train logistic network in space platform is useless. It would be better to open space platform hub instead by that key.

Train overview shows surface which cannot have trains established that it is intended behavior for the Train GUI to always show trains on the current surface Which makes sense for consistency’s sake, even if it takes extra clicks to make it “useful”.

I don’t think that having this shortcut perform a different action entirely depending upon the context is a good idea.

I do think that a New keybinding for “Toggle Space Platform Hub” would be useful; I find it difficult to find the Hub on some of my larger platforms (Over 50,000 Tons).

Clicking any Cargo bays opens the the Platform hub/Landing pad window as well.
So if you have some large array of bays, it might be easier to click one roughly in the middle of it than trying to find the hub at the edge of it.

A keybind to open the hub/pad would work currently.
However, some thought should be put into its implementation to future-proof it for possible Allow us put more landing pads. With high distance from each / Research for +1 Landing Pads per Surface.

I don't think there's enough of a relationship between trains and platforms to make that binding be context sensitive like that. However, I'm certainly in favor of it becoming keybindable, because if it is, it means we can all bind it to whatever makes the most sense to us.

If you could keybind it, then I guess the only question that remains would be what the default would be, or if it even has a default assignment.

Maybe a good compromise would be something like Shift + O? Or Shift + P, since, ya know, P for platform, I guess?

I usually feel more annoyed at the adjacent process to open the hub and then open the platform's power statistics. Would a keybind to open the currently viewed platform's power statistics also be too much to ask?
