Image explaining the new feature

By default the Navigator shows all entries of various categories by default
(f.i. tables, frames, images, etc). This is okay for short documents, but when
I am reading very long documents (e.g. dissertation, thesis or writing a book),
this becomes an issue because suppose I wanted to scroll down to the "Comments"
section; then I would have to scroll down a lot till I get to the Comments
section in the navigator.

What I would like to propose is to add a toggle button to the Navigator that
simply alternates between (i) expanding all items, which is the default
behavior, and (ii) showing only top level items in the navigator (see attached
image).

Another aspect that could be improved in the navigator is when the user selects
an item type in the "Navigate by" drop-down list. For example, when "Comments"
is selected in "Navigate by", the selection in the Navigator could be updated
by going to the "Comments" section... and using the navigation arrows could
reflect the selection in the navigator as well (since the cursor position in
the text is also updated).
