Displaying Tokens and Portraits

Iv noticed a lot of people have two images for their character. One for their token, one for their Portrait. Id like to be able to hover over a token and press F (for instance) and see a blown up version of the Token and by pressing T (for instance) see a blown up version of the portrait.

Quoth , This sounds like a good suggestion as-to the part about pressing "T" (for instance) to see the Portrait appear when hovering over the Token . Part of the idea exists, and actually, all of it can be accomplished in the current interface using certain techniques. Player can click token and press "Z" to see the blown-up full size version of their Token art. GM can click any token/object and press "Shift-Z" to blow-up the full size version of that token or artwork for everyone to see simultaneously. This is equivalent to "F" in your suggestion. Shift-Z documentation: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Keyboard_Shortcuts#Miscell" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Keyboard_Shortcuts#Miscell</a>... Also related: GM can open the Character's Bio, and click "Show To Players" to pop-up the Portrait. Show To Players documentation: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Journal#Character_Options" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Journal#Character_Options</a> So, the fastest way for the GM to show the Portrait from the token... GM can Shift-Doubleclick the Token to open the Character Journal, then press "Show To Players". This is nearly equivalent to "T" in your suggestion. However, your idea remains unique in the suggestion of being able to Show Portrait by hovering over the Token, and I like that idea!
It's also, probably, worth pointing out that a lot of the time, at least in my games, players won't actually be able to select any tokens but their own; so, pressing z to look at a token they're interested in probably won't work.
