How to Keep the Font Drop-Down Always Open in InDesign

I primarily use Illustrator but have been in InDesign a lot lately to work on font combinations for a website. Is there a way to keep the fonts drop-down always open/expanded? Trying to speed up my workflow by avoiding constant scrolling, not to mention the occasional lag that trips me up when scrolling. I'm aware I can filter fonts to shorten the list, and also that I can star fonts to create a custom list.

Thanks in advance!

Do you need to see those fonts to find a useable font? Or do you want to apply a font fast? If it is the second, use Paragraph and Character Styles.
If it is the first, I don't see a solution.

Thanks, Willi. Yes, its the former that I was hoping for if I'm understanding you correctly. I use the Properties>Character panel for changing fonts. I was hoping there was something like what I've pictured below--a panel that just displays all the fonts, and holds place after you've been scrolling.

I know this is a small simple thing but that is exactly what made me think there must be a way!

Presumably, you know about the Favourite font(s) facility?
