Ctrl-1 ... Ctrl-5

There is no possibility to see all metadata at the same time. Too many
information.

You can switch between sub-panels of Metadata panel with accelerators,
For me it is Alt-E for EXIF and Alt-I for IPTC. Keyboard navigation
through panels would be good thing, though.

I wonder it it could be "fixed" with some cheating: when opening
imageplugin dialog "glue" it to IE window. No possibility to resize only
IP or close it. The same size etc.
