Hi all, Current table navigation seems to be little messy, so I tried to

This is great, I've also found the navigation pretty messy but couldn't come up with a good idea. But as Marc mentions, the bar needs to get smaller. On my X61s Thinkpad with only a resolution of 1024x768 a big part will be outside the visible area.
Making the horizontal/vertical select list smaller would be one step (or removing it altogether)
Seeing very few positive feedback on the devel and users list about the vertical browse mode, I am in favor of removing this feature.
Or ...we could make the appearance of this select list configurable, the default being not visible. This way, people relying on this very old feature could configure it if they want to, but for the majority, the selector would be out of the way.
If we decide to do this, we should remove vertical support for the special features like inline edit and the column reordering. All the new stuff would be planned only for horizontal mode.
Sounds like a good idea. Making it invisible by default, then check how many people complain about its disappearance ;-) Then, if only little people notice the change, it could be removed completely altogether.
I think making it invisible by default is a good step towards removing vertical mode support. As Tyron said, we can check if there is complain about it.
Btw, (just to make sure) if we really want to remove the vertical support, it will be done in the next version after 3.5, isn't it?
