There should be one way that works. Options will be hard to discover and a hassle to maintain different code.
If the single one works for me it would be OK :-P > I don't think forgetting where the focus is will be an issue when there is always a focus and it can only be set by intentional action to set the focus. The problem with forgetting where the focus was before arose because it was confusing to predict which pane would be focused and the focus was coupled to clicking tracks in the track tables. Where did you get this opinion from? Maybe we should implement actually the the two schemas as preference option and than we can test and decide what works best. > It seems we have a choice between which set of buttons serves two purposes.

For me #1 is more intuitive, it works better for controllers and not at least it matches exactly the learned behaviour of Mixxx 2.0 in case of one pane collapsed. > I think this will not be as self-explaining as my proposal. I think we will have many users confused and frustrated because they can't figure out how to change the feature in the right track table pane. That should be the same in both proposals. The user has to find the pointing hand.
