Docked Navigator in Writer, Calc and Navigation Toolbar

Please see the attached image.

I use the Navigator docked in the sidebar, in both Writer & Calc. I have more
horizontal space than vertical, so I add things to the left or right. I dock
everything when available.

I don't use the Navigation Toolbar (1), because I use the Navigator scrollable
list. 

It seems the main purpose of the Navigation Toolbar is to prime the left and
right arrows on the Navigator (or the up & down arrows in the Navigation
Toolbar). The "Extended Help" text changes over the Navigator left and right
arrows to reflect what was selected in the Navigation Toolbar.

Suggestion 1:

How about changing how the button works in the Navigator. When clicked, rather
than opening the Navigation Toolbar, change the button to a drop-down radio
list, similar to (2) and (3). Change the button image to reflect the action
being taken; Reuse the images that are currently shown on the Navigation
Toolbar. The arrows in the Navigator can then be used to reposition. To change
what to maneuver to, just click the Navigation button on the Navigator and
select a different radio button.

Suggestion 2:

Remove the button, and instead use whatever is highlighted/selected in the
Navigator list to prime the arrows.  For example, if the user clicks on
"Images" the arrows would find the previous and next images.
