Thanks for trying to understand my maybe too confusing exploration of
possible implementations:

> 1.) It seems you want to have a side-by-side view of tiddlers.
> 1.1) one is "displayArea" one should be inside a sidebar

> 3.) Some tiddlers should open in a left column
> 4.) Some tiddlers should open in a right column

Exactly. just what you would get by using TiddlyDesktop and much
dragging/dropping of tiddlers later. Now made that much easier by
Triptych theme by automatically adjusting the size of the display area
to the resized sidebar/2nd display area.

> 2.) Editing multiple tiddlers at the same time should be possible.
> 2.1 still using sidy-by-side view.

That is already very easy possible now TidIDEditor Plugin now. Only
couldn't get the QuickEditPlugin formating buttons to display there,
which is only a minor issue.

> 5.) TiddlersBar should be replaced with a BreadCrumbs plugin

I rather would have all javascript functions necessary for resizing
sidebars, their fluid and locked state as well as adjustment of the
display area in one plugin. Independent from any other plugins
(TiddlerBars or Breadcumbs isn't needed for what this would plugin do,
and should be left optional) or themes. So that it could just be used
even in any vanilla TW out of the box.

For example translations, making adjustments while being able to
compare with the original (text, css, js..), really anything which can
and sometimes has to be done while editing tiddlers. Good examples can
be found in TiddlyTools MainMenu opening in moveable panels. Which has
the disadvantage that with each opened panel other content gets
partially hidden, which requires moving panels around and resizing
them multiple time. Such unnecessary acrobatics aren't needed with
Triptych anymore. Also for using special menus as for example
RelatedTiddlers a variable sized MainMenu is needed. Finally being
able to switch between panels that easily is a real plus for small
hand held devices.

Here I would miss the option to be in control of what is displayed
where, or to hide and resize as desired.
