Why are you scrolling the navigation frame together with the content?
For me it's much more helpfull if the two panes are scrolled
separatly, otherwise navigation disappears when you scroll down
content. Look at http://wlkl.ch/index.php?n=Lit.Lit : the alphabet on
the left top is used to navigate within the (huge) content and remains
there, whereever you are reading.

One reason is that the default skin was this way, and the new one tries to be as close to it as practical. Another reason is that some people hate a scrollbar in the middle of the page, between the sidebar and the content.

At any rate, it is possible to configure the skin so these elements scroll independently, add something like this in pub/css/local.css:

  #wikileft, #wikibody > main {
    height: 80vh;
    max-height: 80vh;
    overflow: auto;
  }

Why is tmpl name $SkinDir/skin.tmpl and not $SkinDir/$Skin.php, which
is the first choice in skins.php? I think PmWiki should clearly show
and stick to a single  prefered naming convention.

Both name.php and skin.php are the preferred naming convention (same for name.tmpl and skin.tmpl).

It is far easier and more practical, if you want to work on a skin, to only copy its directory under a new name, and not having to rename all files and fix all links inside them. When the files are named skin.*, this works, otherwise it doesn't.

I don't mind renaming the files, if the community has strong(er) arguments for this.
