I tried the Navigator per your suggestion, but it buys be nothing at the cost
of 3 or 4 more clicks per use. I see it has value for long tab names but all my
tab names are only 3 or 4 characters long so I already have 35 tabs visible at
once.

I can see all 71 tabs if I stretch the page across 2 monitors or use a 4K
monitor, but I prefer to use the spreadsheet on only half my screen space.

Let's face it, I have to agree with you on this one. This feature would look
great and speed up my use case a wee bit, at great development cost for
LO-Calc. But my use case repeats the same formulas in every sheet so a database
would be far less onerous to maintain for my application.

That's the thing about spreadsheets - they're cute when the data set is small,
but it locks you into spending more and more time maintaining the same design
when the data set grows large.

If someone has many sheets with long names and different sets of formulas on
each sheet, then this enhancement has potential value. The water resource
engineers I work with tend to have Excel workbooks like that. But no one has
declared here that their spreadsheet looks like this. My spreadsheet is large
and complex with over 1700 rows of data and formulas across all the sheets, but
at least the layout is repetitive with each sheet having 9 columns of data, 27
columns of formulas, and a pivot table.

The OP made a one-line claim in his description without saying much. That's not
enough to make a decision on.
