Hi, I have been a happy okular user for many years. I am mostly using it to read datasheets. Many things about okular are great. I like the different selection modes and specially the table selection one. Sometimes I would wish it would use a tabbed interface but when I really need tabs I use konqueror to open the datasheets in different tabs. I searched yesterday and found there are also some other solutions for this.
The thing I have been missing most it to allow okular to make better use of the screen width when showing the navigation window. I like to have okular next to my editor or on a separate rotated screen. In such situations the layout of the navigation panel would better be moved above or bellow the content window. to give an example [1] shows a typical sessions I have. On the left I have my editor and on the right I have okular running. I will often hide and show the navigation panel to be able to read the text. Yesterday I downloaded the okular sources and tried to modify the layout to move the navigation panel to the top. This was easier than I tough and I managed to move the navigation to the top by only modifying a few properties in the source[2] code the result can be seen here[3]. I can now make better use of the screen estate. I have not extensively searched the archives but would like to know if there is a chance this layout could be added to okular?. If so I can clean it up and spend a few more hours on it making it configurable and removing hacks.
