Continuous scrolling through file boundaries

[lehkonev]

NovelWriter is great, but something I really miss from my workflow is scrolling (or page upping and downing, I like to use the keyboard) through the whole document when I had just one. Just looking for editing ideas, changing one bit and moving on and so on. (I initially had my whole document in just one file but it took several seconds to load. And it is generally better to have multiple files.)

The details of what I would like: When coming to the end/start of a file, the next file in sequence (chapter, scene, etc.) would be loaded and displayed in the editor just like it was just the same document continuing, but with maybe a horizontal line indicating that it's a separate file.

Maybe #1440 kinda brushes this issue because of this comment about caching the files?

This is more of an "edit multiple documents" feature, which probably won't be added due to the way the underlying framework works. I'm working on a new editor project when I have the time (which I mostly don't) and I want to make this a possibility there.

But you're right, splitting into multiple documents is the main point of novelWriter. You don't have to split into scenes though. You can also split into chapters.
