There is already something like this. Right click on the notebook tabs to
get a menu of all sheets. Selecting from it will change to the
appropriate sheet. I use it quite a lot to change sheets because
scrolling the notebook tabs is fairly slow. Changing over to an option
menu in place of the notebook tabs is one possible solution.
The one benefit of multiple windows is being able to view and quickly
select objects from two different sheets at the same time. Is there
anyone who would find this useful?
