alt-double click on token should reopen or "maximize" a "minimized" sheet!

When you double click on the text of a handout in the upper left, it conveniently minimizes it to be semi-transparent. This makes it much easier to open later as it doesn't have to reload, and it's right there on the screen for you to double click to reopen. However, for some awful reason, when you alt-double click on the token again, it doesn't re-maximize the token. Instead it sometimes maybe jostles the location of the smaller bar for you. When running a combat with potentially 5 to 10+ enemies, it's easy to lose character sheets amongst all the other minimized floating semi-transparent bars that are now harder to read since they're transparent and smaller (and possibly even overlapping!). In addition, loading times on sheets are longer (I think) since 'operation firebolt' rolled out. So you need to have more sheets minimized and on screen at a time if you want the game and combat to keep running smoothly. So please please please, if you reopen a sheet via alt-double clicking on the token, have it re-maximize (or bring it to the foreground, whatever you call it).
+1 and I wish I had a vote free to give for this. I avoid a lot of the problem with having too many NPC character sheets open during combat by using the Token Action Maker  MOD. It lets you quickly set up token actions for anything that has a character sheet so that I don't need to keep those all those sheets open. Now I only keep open the ones that have specific abilities like lair or legendary actions.
I would suggest the there be a sheet button tied to the imitative screen. So if there is an associated sheet it'll be displayed/opened. That way the clutter can be managed a bit better.

D G. said: I would suggest the there be a sheet button tied to the imitative screen. So if there is an associated sheet it'll be displayed/opened. That way the clutter can be managed a bit better. That'd be a nice feature. Yeah I use token actions as well. Just tried a new mod called 'token action maker' that's pretty helpful for creating auto actions in 5e. But I'm usually not playing 5e, and it's really helpful to open the character sheet quickly.
