I think that wouldn't be out-of-role either that the captain mans the map charts and some WO mans the periscope/conning tower.
At least this is what I would assume from what the older SH titles gave us. But I would be pleasantly surprised if they offered us something new here, too.

Well, if memory serves, standing procedure for U-boot attacks was for the captain to man the attack scope and the XO to handle the plot, while conducting a submerged attack, and the other way around, when conducting a surface attack (XO manned the UZO and the captain stayed below). However, it is my understanding, that this procedure was modified and deviated from according to every captain's individual preferences.
As far as shortcuts are concerned, truth be told, I won't really mind, if I can't teleport around, as long as option B). from my original post exists (or at least the ability to mod it. It's been mentioned that the UI is now modable using Python. Does that include the plot? And to what extent?).
