stay on doc when switching view

[ambimb]

I didn't see this anywhere and it's pretty minor, but: It would be nice if the text I'm viewing would stay in view when I switch between view modes. For example, if I'm in draft mode and I'm working on Document B, then I click to Compose mode, Document B disappears and I have to reselect it to see it again and get back to where I was working. It would be nice if Document B just stayed right there -- the view mode changes, but the text I'm working on remains in front of me.

Does that make sense? I don't know if it's possible, but this would be on my wish list....

The ToDo list is getting crazy big, though. I just hope you can get half of that stuff done before you release for real. I'm ready to pay my $20-$40 and you deserve it!

I think Scrivener would be trying to second-guess you too much if it forced the same document between views... Though maybe I could make it a preference...

...or a method of mode switching. Say, Option-Clicking on the mode buttons would temporary sustain your document choice. Likewise with Cmd-Opt-F2, or whatever that will look like. I would like that better than a checkbox in the preferences.

Yeah, I would definitely want it to be a preference. Personally, when I switch between views I'm doing it because I want to specifically work on the document (or in the folder) I've already selected.
