Windows 10: Microsoft Flight Simulator - Unknown Keyboard Shortcut -> New UI Window Mode - RIGHT ALT

So far, I'm loving FS2020. I've seen lots of posts/questions about separate windows for views and/or instrument panels.

I've asked around but haven't had any responses... perhaps someone here knows?


There is a shortcut listed in FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2020 MISCELLANEOUS KEYS -> New UI Window Mode - RIGHT ALT

Does anybody know what this does? I've tried in fullscreen and windowed mode but can't see anything happening as a result of pressing the right ALT key. Gee, a manual or online documentation sure would be nice wouldn't it???
