Thanks that you can follow a view in such a direction.

I wonder about your concerns about confusion here.

How would you get to such an interpretation for the usage of rows?

Would you like to offer switchable data views?

I would agree to such an expectation.

An improved context menu can be combined also with a list and/or table view,
can't it?
