Description

It could be helpful to make the infowindow keydisplay customizable. Currently, it's not very helpful if you are to make new bindings for what's displayed in it.

Probably just having it as a settings.json variable would be fine.

Research direction

Start in internal/display/infowindow.go around line 181 and review how the infowindow key display is assembled. Then inspect the project's settings.json handling to determine how a customizable value could be represented. Done means users can configure the displayed key information instead of relying on the current fixed behavior.
