Is there any trick for getting these two views of a library to move in

but I can't add topicrefs in the navigation pane (afaik) and don't get
the useful colour-coding (task, concept, 'reserved for future
development') in the ditamap.
I have no idea how much work it would require, but a new context-menu
option "Highlight in map/navigation pane" might be a nice-to-have.
I'm sorry but the Navigation Pane and the DITA map opened as a styled
view of XXE have not been designed to be used together (well, at least
not all the time).
As of v5.9 (March 27, 2014), the DITA map opened as a styled view of XXE
is an excellent map editor, allowing to easily create empty topics and
then to add topicrefs corresponding to these newly created topics.

The Navigation Pane is useful when you need to populate the newly
created topics with prose and/or modifying existing topics. In order
words, the Navigation Pane is useful because it allows you to
concentrate on the prose you are writing, no matter the overall size of
you document and the file structure of your document.

PS: If you take the time to explain us why colour-coding (task,
concept, 'reserved for future development') is useful in the styled view
of a DITA map, may be we'll implement it. (No technical difficulty.)
