Double click or Enter key places focus (goes into) the document content.
Single click scrolls document to selected navigation content view entry.

> + con: single click blocks context menu for not active object

Isn't that how it currently is? Right click on any item in the content tree and
that item is selected and the associated context menu is shown.

Agree

True, what ever is selected in the Navigator will be scrolled to in the
document

I'm with Cor here

> + pro: in document selection is a single click and changes the Navigator 

Outline position is tracked in the Navigator but that's a separate
"enhancement"

I am unfamiliar with the expression "present left and right". I don't have an
opinion on the need. This is something I saw mentioned in a bug/enhancement
report. I've been doing a few things in this area of the code so it wasn't much
of a stretch to do this.

No opinion.

> PS: Jim, please never create a template :-)

TBH, I don't know how to create a template. I get the feeling, for the file
used in the demo, it is a good thing that I don't. :-)
