The constant jumps between Pages and Outline, specially because of dynamic-panel states, would be much more natural if these tabs could switch automatically.
Logical triggers could be:
- In Pages, selecting/double-clicking any widget of an opened page = Switch to Outline: the click on a widget of an opened page suggests intent towards its contents, so the Outline list turns far more relevant than the Page list.
- In Outline, ESC key with nothing selected = Switch to Pages: conversely, escaping the top level of a page suggests the need for a broader view of the Page tab.
Judging by the huge number of times I switch these tabs manually, always with these logical triggers in mind, I believe this small feature can benefit a lot of people considerably in the end of the day.
Thanks!
