One step towards this goal is combining the different Contract buttons into one designated Contracts drop-down. Let me show you two examples of how this now looks in Masterkey.

One of the most requested features at the Q&A Sessions was the ability to open multiple windows in Masterkey. I want to share a trick with you that enables just that. For example, when you want to open Contact Zone, right-click on the menu item and then click on 'Open in a new tab'. This will open the Contact Zone in a new tab and you can open as many tabs as you like.

By switching between the different tabs, you can now access multiple Zones at once. The only thing you cannot open in tabs are the Unit Files and Contact Files. However the idea to have multiple Unit FIles and Contact Files is already submitted by Jaideep Khemani - vote for it by visiting our Feedback Forum.
