Converting Short Forms

I am really loving applying this to my glossaries BUT!! would it be possible to switch between the Viewer and Convert Short Form windows without having to close the Convert window?

For example, to help me remember the many like short forms, I take advantage of the prefixes (hypo, pre, cost, cardio etcetera) to make the short form:

cardiovascular disease = cvdisease instead of cdisease as my short form rule for two words is first letter of first work and entire last word, or

cardiovascular or respiratory = cvorespiratory instead of corespiratory as my short form for three words is first letter of the first two words and the entire last word.

At the moment, when I am editing my short forms I am jotting them down to attend to later and editing the entries in the Viewer. I then have to find my place in the Convert Short Forms again as with over 200,000 entries it can be laborious. Otherwise a Search window would help in the Convert Short Forms window.

I do hope this makes sense :)
