Re: [racket-users] Sticky scrollable nav bar in docs
"sticky" looks worse to me on that example page --- I have to scroll
to the bottom of all the set docs before I can read the navbar

Re: [racket-users] Sticky scrollable nav bar in docs
I agree this is a useful improvement. I would consider using "position:
sticky" instead of "position: fixed" as that is generally less
"intrusive" to the layout and doesn't create a need for a second scroll
bar (the element would scroll as needed with the main scrollbar, but
still be sticky in the sense that it would keep itself within the
viewport).

This seems like it would be a nice addition. I think starting with a
PR is the right place to begin.

[racket-users] Sticky scrollable nav bar in docs
One of my students asked about making the Racket docs navbar sticky and
scrollable, to help when navigating very long docs pages. I made a quick hack
and deployed it here:
https://www.students.cs.ubc.ca/~cs-411/docs/reference/sets.html
Personally I've found it very useful. Would this change make sense for the
Racket docs generally? (With some polish by someone who is better at UX than
me?)
To implement it, I just replaced `doc-site.css` with the following
.navsettop {
position: fixed;
z-index: 1;
background: #a7b0be;
height: auto;
}
.tocset {
position: fixed;
overflow-y: scroll;
height: 88%;
}
