UI addition for maneuver nodes

[Roastduck]

What if we had the ability to have a small window that was zoomed in and fixed on a maneuver node, like a pcture-in-picture thing? This way we could be zoomed out to see the full orbit and rendevouz/encounter, but still have the ability to make very fine adjustments to where on the orbital path our node is

Edit: did some thinking. Maybe it could be a 4th viewing mode (Staging, Orbital, Docking, Maneuver Editing). You go into a separate map mode, using Tab to go between existing maneuver nodes

I definitely like the concept, but I'm not sure about your way of implementing it... might get a bit confusing. Still, the concept is a good idea, and I'd like to see it in the game

Its true, the UI on the maneuver nodes is pretty finicky. I've got a pretty involved space program in several of my saves and making fine tune adjustments in the buzz of Kerbin traffic can be a real pain. Being able to hide categories of craft has helped, but a small maneuver window that would pop up when the node is being tweaked could be a big help.

Same with a stock docking window
