I would like to totally agree with the request, the abovementioned features are the most annoying things in the IDE. I have read somewhere that if you press shift, control or something while pressing upload button you will get serial monitor autoopen but I couldn't find it later again and there seam to be no clue in the IDE menus on what should I press. So I am pressing this b...dy 'magnifying glass' after every compile thinking - what did people invent computers for.
