we are moving from XXE 5.3.0 to 5.8.0 and some of our authors are
missing the following functions:

    * If you right-click on a node in the Node-Path-bar the items in the
      contextual menu "Insert Same Element After [Ctrl-Click on
      name]"/Before/Delete are missing
      (Maybe I have to provide a special contextualmenu, but I don't
      know how to qualify that.)

* These keyboard shortcuts are still available:

Ctrl-INSERT
  Insert same element after selected element.

Ctrl+Shift-INSERT
  Insert same element before selected element.

* How to customize the contextual menu (same one used for the body of the document and the node path bar) is explained here:

Redefining or extending the right-click, contextual, popup menu

http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/custom_contextual_menu.html



    * The Easy selection mode facility is no longer available (dropped
      in XXE 5.5, Why , Alternative?)

Why: 1) we didn't find this feature useful enough; 2) we try to remove less useful features in order to ``make room'' for new ones.

Alternative: "View|Show Tags". See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/viewMenu.html



    * The icons on the top-right corner especially to edit the
      referenced document are gone.

These keyboard shortcuts are still available:

Ctrl+Shift-B
Switch to window containing referencing document (the modular document), if any.

Ctrl+Shift-E
Switch to window containing referenced document (the module). Open this document if needed to.



      We know that these functions are still available in the EDIT-menu
      and in the contextual menu,

There is also the very useful "Go Back" button:

but they ask if it is possible to make
      a customisation to get them back on the top-right corner.


Here it is (tested it with XXE v5.8.1):

customize.xxe_gui (required name)
---
<gui xmlns="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/gui";
     xmlns:gui="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/gui";>

  <toolBar name="modularDocToolBar">
    <action name="editIncludingAction" />
    <action name="editInclusionAction" />
  </toolBar>

  <layout>
    <topToolBars insert="after selectToolBar">
      <toolBar name="modularDocToolBar" />
    </topToolBars>
 </layout>

</gui>

Simply copy attached file to one of the two addon/ directories scanned by XMLmind XML Editor at start up time.

Please do not forget to clear the "Quick Start Cache" (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/advancedOptions.html#cacheOptions), otherwise the application will not see the customization.
