I couldn't find any information of keyboard shortcuts, I know a few of them. But a list of full shortcuts would be very usefull.
Or "m" for shortcut.There is no such option for the log on the bottom of the screen but you have the same information on last page of the ledger.
Only thing you can do with the log is reducing it in order to use the whole screen for the map. Button is in the top left corner of the log.
