While any of the shortcuts are being pressed, the overview will be frozen to prevent items from shuffling around based on the sorting order. While the overview is frozen, all new items that appear on the overview will be added at the bottom of the list and items that disappear from the grid will be shown in a faded text (refer to image above). | While any of the shortcuts are being pressed, the overview will be frozen to prevent items from shuffling around based on the sorting order.

Filters control what shows up in your Overview window, Bracket Filters control what shows up on your actual in-game screen. | |||
EVE isn’t a very system-intensive game, and some people have computers that can easily handle the game on max settings. If your system can handle it, you can select '''show all brackets''' in the overview options for each tab. (Brackets are the symbols (icons) you see when in space). This will let you see friendly and hostile ship brackets on the field as well as neutrals and drones. Having all brackets turned on can help you identify an on-grid fleet mate to use as a warp-in. Many players fly with all brackets turned on, and it is recommended to do so if your system can handle it. Zooming out the camera with all brackets turned on will give you a good view of what's happening on the battlefield. | |||
In very large fleet fights, it is recommended to have brackets turned off, as a large number of visible brackets will cause server-side lag when there are hundreds of players shooting at each other in the same system. Most nullsec corps will have instructions for their members on how to minimize lag during large encounters. | |||
You can press {{button|Option}} + {{button|Z}} (for Mac) or {{button|ALT}} + {{button|Z}} (for PC) to toggle all brackets. | |||
Alternatively, you can create a tab preset that only includes bare minimum brackets and use that as the bracket preset. | |||

A faster method to tag targets is to use the "tag item as" shortcut key. Note that all "tag item as" actions do not have a key bound to them by default. These shortcuts are in the "combat" section of shortcut settings. | A faster method to tag targets is to use the "tag item as" shortcut key.
