Mock-up v01

In a workflow where you are only switching between a couple of open editors and views, this could be really useful. It takes away the effort and resulting annoyance of having to repeatedly type or navigate 'Forward' & 'Back'. 

See attached mock-up.

Did you want a listing of what you previously picked in the quick access text field or a listing of the last couple of parts that have been activated?
Comment 2 Lars Vogel CLA 2019-09-04 03:12:26 EDT
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and remove the stalebug whiteboard tag. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

The question is: do you need to the list of most recently open parts to use them?
Currently, assuming you already know what you're willing to open/show, then you just have to type it and it's already there; so the proposal only makes it interesting to *view* the list, not really to interact with it.
For this reason, I see this as extremely low priority.
