The new History Pane features proper mouse and keyboard navigation,
multiple selection and ability to remove the selected entries,
plus a dynamic context menu. Additionaly, the History's size is now
configurable in Preferences.
Use Ctrl+H to show/hide the History Pane.
History Pane's titlebar can be styled via #historyPaneTitleBar, e.g.:
/* Colored header for the History Pane */
background: lightsteelblue;
margin: 2px;
}
Closes #162: Make History sidebar independent from the Search Pane
Closes #159: "Send to main window" button from Pop-Up window does nothing when History is shown
Closes #158: Preserve History mode after restart
Closes #157: History with new UI: New words are not added when History is shown
Closes #156: History with new UI: Extra Groups widget in History is shown
Closes #155: History with new UI: Arrow keys navigation in History doesn't work
Closes #154: History with new UI: DEL key does not delete the current history entry
Users now have a choice:
* The new way: The field to enter words located like in all browsers, in the toolbar.
* The old way: to search in the sidebar.
Both UI modes are supported and can be switched between via View -> Search Pane menu.
* Status Bar now available for Scan Popup window as well.
* Fixed #13: Eliminated modal box when sound is not available:
Instead of modal dialog box we now show the status bar message,
with error icon, thus making it visible but not disruptive.
* Proper handling of status bar images.
* Styling of the status bar in both modes
(in Mani Window and in Popup Window).
Now when a user activates an article (by clicking on it, or by using Alt-Up/Down shortcuts),
corresponding dictionary in the "found in dictionaries" pane is selected.
See Issue #22.
P.S. Lingvo behaves in the same way too.
* Small pop-up window at the bottom of the main winodw instead
of traditional status bar, that consumes lots of space.
* API, similar to standard Qt's status bar.
* The status bar hides itself after specified amount of time.
* Clicking on the status bar also hides it.
* Properly behavies on resizes/moves/focus/etc.
* Tested on Linux and Windows.
