<pre>This is an elaboration on RGB's comment of 2011-04-16, which was mistakenly
marked as obsolete:
Currently, one can do a right click on any position shown in the navigator
panel. However, the options offered there are heterogeneous. There is an
initial subset of three options (division levels, drag mode, display) which are
the same for any spot in the navigator panel that one may click on. The first
of them concerns exclusively the section headings and has no business with the
other items shown in the navigator panel. The third option does not belong here
at all and may instead be offered at some place of the top bar of the navigator
panel. Then there is one additional option shown upon right click on some of
the items of the navigator panel and which is well-positioned there, together
with the 'drag-mode' option.
Suggestion:
Add a third option to the right click on a section heading in the navigator
bar, as follows: insert reference to this section at cursor position.
Motivation:
This is a shortcut for what otherwise takes the following series of steps:
Insert - reference - field commands: cross-references - numbered paragraphs -
number (no context) - selection - insert - close; i.e. no less then 8 clicks
plus vertical scrolling through what may be hundreds of lines in the selection
box. The number of clicks may be abridged to 6 if 'numbered paragraphs' and
'number (no context)' are held constant. However, six clicks plus vertical
scrolling is a particularly non-ergonomic solution for such a simple and
frequent operation.
The suggested shortcut presupposes that the parameter setting in the box 'field
commands: cross-references' has been stored and is applied, as it currently is
in the six-click solution.
