IDE left sidebar

On the left sidebar (see attached screenshot), if I right mouse clicked on the sidebar then a context menu would appear showing relevant options from the current 'Windows' menu.  If I selected 'Classes' then that would then be added to the sidebar.

I think polishing the IDE with little improvements like this really makes it shine.  I'm already extremely impressed, but why not make it even better :)

Can we include it in plans for next release?

Set target-milestone of open issue to TBD (was < 7.3, f.e. 6.8), so the issue doesn't get lost.

doesn't get lost. This time the target milestone is really set.
