What I would like to know is... is this narrowing feature interesting for people here?
Yes.
Or is it just me who thinks that it would improve workflow and reduce mental load?
Not just you. The good thing with LyX is that you can navigate easily from paragraph to paragraph with the keyboard. But in order to make that feature really useful without being forced to use the mouse, you would also need shortcuts for navigating between sections.
In case it's interesting, I'll file an enhancement request. Doesn't sound terribly difficult to implement, but I may be wrong...
Should not be terribly hard indeed. All the code for scrolling settings is in BufferView class if you want to experiment.
On a related note, Rob Oak is working on improving the outliner so you might want to joind the development list and discuss the matter there with Rob and us.
Cheers, Abdel.
