I don't want to discourage you, but this will not happen. Re-implementing all the logic that is in the Metadata Panel in the file window would cause a lot of work. And, what you see in the file window is not necessarily a metadata tag, you can also show combined tags, tags formatted or modified by variable functions etc.

Both the Metadata Panel and the Keyword Panel have a large number of productivity features. Do you know them all? For example, you can add/edit metadata in hundreds of files at the same time. Metadata Templates are also a great way to fill in mass data.

If you give each file an individual title, this will not solve your problem.  But maybe something simple like a prev/next file button and keyword shortcut is all you need. I have something like that on my to-do list, but I cannot say when I will look into this.

It would be very helpful if there were a shortcut with which one could change the current image. In this case, one could stay in the Metadata panel.
Thank you
