That I agree, I think we do need a usability overhaul, and that's a good

This could be done in our project, but I think this is a feature best left for 
the backend sword library so the other frontends for it would have access to 
it if they liked.

This is a feature that would *have* to be in the backend sowrd library, and 
there is someone working on it I think.

Anything you can contribute would be appreciated, basically all I contributed 
to 1.5 was the high contrast theme, a bug fix or two, and lots of testing.
