Side Pane! ❤️ Great new tool

Feature Request:

  • I hope the starred button can be brought back to the topbar — this is a feature I rely on heavily.
    It used to be the most iconic button and boon for workflowy from the very beginning, with origins in the launch year. But now I have to click and expand the three-dot menu to verify whether it has been starred. Or, as Bob suggested, we could choose to pin certain features to the top bar, because I rarely click the “Today” icon; instead, I use the Ctrl+T shortcut. And I never use the new pane button either, because I use the shortcut to “toggle the pane” or just Alt + click the specific node.
  • I am now manipulating nodes in new panes. After I use “Move to” to move a node to another location, it shows “View: Shift + Enter.” When I trigger this action with Shift + Enter, I expect the current new pane to jump to that view. However, instead, the leftmost pane jumps to the view first. So I hope that after using “Move to,” the new pane can jump to the view with Shift + Enter.
  • have achieved: We need a keyboard shortcut to close the active new panel, similar to how Cmd + W closes a tab in Chrome.
  • Hope the new pane will support “navigate back and forward” keyboard shortcut because it only supports zoom in and out keyboard shortcut.

Bug
may be fixed, no happening again

  • When the main screen is only populated with lots of numbered list nodes, such as more than 50 nodes, I am using alt + click to open nodes — especially items located in the middle of the list. The corresponding right‑side panel opens normally.
    However, when I close this right‑side new pane, the left‑side view does not stay at my original scroll position (the position where I opened the item). Instead, the entire left‑side list automatically jumps all the way to the very end / bottom of the list.
    I hope my description is clear. I can record a screen‑recording video if further clarification is needed or you cannot reproduce this issue.
  • fixed : When I open a new panel and click into a node. Then I “navigate back” to return, previously the workflowy view to remain at its original scroll position. Currently, this does not work; the view scrolls all the way up to the top header.

Regards,

Victor.
