Hi,
The recently used tables is now using ajax. I've just pushed to my repo, so
the demo [0] will be available in an hour later. Comment and suggestion are
welcome, mainly regarding the ajax-related code:
ajax request in navigation.js
ajax response in navigation.php
ajax trigger in header.inc.php (the triggering is done by adding <script>
tag to call js function in the navigation frame, any better way?)

What if, instead of a 'recently used tables drop down list' there
would be a bunch of icons that allow (ajax request-)sorting of
tables/databases by different criterias such as:
most recently used
most commonly used
table/db size
I think we can add sorting criteria in settings page. But, IMO, list is still more intuitive than using icons.
Similar to chromes omnibar that suggests addresses that are most
commonly used, this seems somehow more intuitive than a drop down
list.
So, users must type table's name in order to jump to a table? I think this is not convenient, since users may have table names with same prefix.
Yea I think this was a bad example. What I meant is, those 3 Icons (and saving the last sort order in a cookie) sorting the list, thus having the list of tables/dbs just once (not in the list + partially in the drop down list), feel more intuitive for me. And saves the user a additional mouse click once the table is sorted to his liking.
The intention of providing recently used tables is to make users able to jump between tables (they used recently) in different databases. I don't think this can be achieved by sorting the main list, since:
- Current navigation frame has two kind of views: light version (dbs list
first, then if you click one db, it will display the tables list of that db) and complete version (all dbs + tables in one list). In the light version, it will displays only tables of one db (tables from other dbs are not shown). So, we can't jump between tables in different dbs. In the full version, list of tables are grouped by their dbs. Sorting will messed up the list. 2. The users will be confused by the "always changing" dbs/tables list.
True, switching between tables from different dbs wouldn't work then. If the table/db list would be implemented as collapsable tree, then it would work :)
This feature exists but is not enabled by default.
How come it is not the default setting? Because it loads too slow?
