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 #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.
This is a standard behavior for any history-enabled app
(like web browser). When there is no previous or next item
in the history, the appropriate button on the toolbar
is disabled.
It is a separate detacheable pane, which could also be enabled/disabled,
it tracks the current tab's contains, and lists those dictionaries that
contributed their content to the current translation.
Clicking on dictionary name jumps to the appropriate article from
this dictionary, which improves the navigation flow.
The Dictionaries Pane:
* Shows both dictionaries' names and icons.
* Does not consume resources when hidden.
* Properly styled.
* Properly handles app-wide shortcuts
(Esc, Ctrl-L, Alt-D, Enter, Alt-Up/Down).
