How difficult would it be to add a hotkey or a command line option to disable the process top feature? Here's the use case I have in mind:

I have a server which is sizable - 24 cores - and I use htop in a screen session to keep an eye on it (and keep my SSH session alive when I'm logged in). However, the user interface is a bit cramped no matter how I configure it, save if I maximize the terminal window I have open. What I would like to do is this: Start one instance of htop which monitors the CPUs, memory, swap, time, and uptime but no process top. I would like to start a second instance of htop that only shows the process top in a second screen window.

No, I mean "go into the htop setup window, go to Display options, un-check the Show process list option," not pausing the process list.

+1 for this feature, there are many use-cases to be able to properly turn off (hide) the process list.
