BTW, this is clearly an use-case of multiple independent views, that is also a missing feature. I'm sure you know that; it should be like the "New window" command in MS Word and most other word processors. I regularly use that for editing documentations in Word. Another issue regarding navigation is that there is no true back/forward functionality like Alt+Left and Alt+Right is in Web browsers. Once I have noted that regarding following links: if the linked thing is referenced from multiple places, and you follow the link, the back button will not (always) go back to the place where you came from. Can be quite frustrating... -- Best regards, Daniel Dekany
