Neil, the second part of of your request is already there. When you have one or more matches highlighted, drop down the menu in the central (match) window by right clicking. One of the menu options is "View selected matches" This will give you a list of all the highlighted matches. You can centre the view on any match by double-clicking it in the list, or scroll through the metches with the up and down arrows.
