1)

Could you consider a better / additional way of implementing this function?

a) (minimal) Have not only shortkeys for goback, goforth, but also for displaying the whole list, that is, giving shortkeys for the current need to click with mouse on the very tiny down arrows there in your screen shot. I know such mouse clicks can be done with a macro, but a solution in UR itself would be most welcome.

b) (far better even) Have a way to lay out the history list into a dockable frame, like the search results, and even into the SAME frame as the search results, giving a toggle / command to replace the search results in that frame, or display that frame with search results, or with the history, when doing the according command. (Ideally, the search results should be stored in an array so that you can go back to them by toggle.)

Please note that displaying the history in such a way is NOT just another / neater way of displaying them, but that it would bring enhanced functionality:

With the actual list, after clicking on an item there, the list vanishes, and every time, you must go back to the (mouse) command in order to display the list anew, in order to select another item there; if you make available the history list in the search frame or in another, special frame in the way of the search frame, we could freely select items there, without the need to go back and forth between a vanishing list and several / multiple items we select from there.

2)

The same would apply to the favorites: They, also, should be available by a frame in which they are constantly displayed, in the search frame, which this way would contain three different sets of item lists, to be chosen from the last-applied command in this respect (control-1 = show search results in special pane, control-2 = show history in special pane, control-3 = show favorites in special pane) - or one search pane, and an additional pane to be displayed at the will of the user, with a toggle (control-1 = show special pane with history, also control-1 = show special pane with favorites; both: display the special pane if it's not yet displayed, or show just the other array in it if it's displayed yet)

Could you consider those ideas? I'm sure most users would use those features / lists daily as soon as they'd be there!

Thank you very much for giving your opinion about these.
