Whether you will concider this or not, I am already very thankful for FocusWriter the way it is. If it’s not possible I will still use this wonderful processor as is, in conjunction with other outlining software. Besides, this may be outside the scope of what you want FocusWriter to do. I have no knowledge of programming, so I don’t know if this could be done in FocusWriter. Maybe this could be done in text mode too, using some sort of wiki syntax (like in Zim or Wikidpad).

When working on a novel this could be used of course to quickly navigate the text itself, but also to help navigate a large body of research text. When writing a novel it is nicer to have the whole text in one piece so you can see everything in context. The problem with wiki-like note-taking and outliners like Zim or Wikidpad is that they make separate files or pages for each note.

This would make it very easy to navigate and oversee large texts. I’m thinking of a widget that can be placed either to the left or right of the editing area.Each heading in the currently open tab would be there and if clicked, it should bring the cursor to the section in question. I am wondering if there is any chance a of including an outlining function. There is, however one feature that would make it even better for the creative process. Wow, FocusWriter keeps getting better and better! It’s already the most beautiful word processor ever and with the addition of RTF support a while ago it’s become a very useful tool for creative writers.
