It's slightly tricky to separate it from the page arrows, since those 
are triggered by a mouse movement over the icon.  Having it pop up all 
the time when moving the mouse would be too annoying, I think.

Yeah, that's why I suggested more buttons would be required to do this 
in BibDesk.  There are too many options to fit in a menu under a single 
button icon.

PDF and Text preview are gone in this version; as I said previously, I'm 
lobotomizing it for my personal usage and amusement :).  Part of that 
includes removing features that I never use, along with ones that I 
think we shouldn't have added in the first place.  The source is in my 
tcobrowser repo on sourceforge for the time being, but I'm not going to 
create a "real" fork and do full-fledged releases, since I think that 
would harm the project overall.
