This is a very good point. Why are we forgetting users (like me) who are trying to cope with a 1200 page book? If I had some calc-like tabs at the bottom, each tab could be quick way to jump to a particular page - it's like "new window" but embedded behind the tabs - very clean and elegant way to provide one form of "dynamic bookmars" (dynamic, since each tab is another view - and each view can be "watching" any part of the document. For me this would be a wonderful feature :D > You will find a similar solution to what you expect > in Draw where the layers are realized per tabs. I have not used Draw. Ultimately, I say we should not cram "one size fits all UI" into "the only available UI" - but this is of course limitation of developer time at the moment - for example see bug #33232 (workspaces). When workspaces are available, why we would say NO/WONTFIX to navigation aid widgets like this bug proposes? Surely this would fit perfectly into the advanced UI customizability implied by workspaces in bug #33232 ? > Actually it is an abuse, That is a matter of opinion. Of course, genuine improvements notwithstanding, and new approach may well be better in that example, than "tabs == layers" - but why limit tabs to have to "== layers" ? see bug #33232 > and the proposal > in the blog post I added in comment 1 deals with this fact. That sounds like genuine improvement. I consider also calc-like navigation aids to be an "advanced user" or "power user" UI feature, and now that we have found bug #33232 I hope my argument is a little more compelling now.
