I know how to get the popups to appear up to 9 but some panels have widows above 9 how do you get them to appear? :-?

What do you mean? You can have more than 9 pop ups in a panel. After 9 windows, it becomes [Window10] in the panel.cfg.

What I mean is what is the keyboard combination to have them appear. You hit shift 1 to 9 and they show up. After that I do not know.

As there is no 'Event' beyond Window 9 in Settings>Controls>Buttons&Keys there is no way to assign a keyboard shortcut.
It would seem then that your option is to:
-Use the
Views>Instrument Panel window list.
-Check the panel for an appropriate SimIcon or hot spot (check the aircrafts manuals) on the panel.
If it is a window you access often, you could edit the panel.cfg file and swap it's order with a lesser used window.
Or you could add a SimIcon, either visible or as a hotspot.

Thanks Dave. I often wondered why panel makers do that and don't supply an icon. What you suggested I have done before in order to get a panel to work.I thought that I had missed some instruction and could find out if there was a keyboard combination that I had overlooked.
