Okular's sidebar vertical view chooser toolbar suffers from a few issues:
* It's a nonstandard UI not used for category choosers in other pieces of KDE software,
and not used in other FOSS document readers
* What is shown and what is hidden is simultaneously too configurable while still not
offering the desirable UI common to other programs (i.e. no visible category chooser,
but a sidebar capable of displaying thumbnails, table of contents, search results, etc.)
* With labels on it takes up quite a bit of horizontal space, while with labels off, the
categories are less than clear
* UX is kind of clunky with nonstandard behaviors (e.g. clicking on the current category
to hide that category's view while keeping the view chooser visible, showing mostly
disabled items)
* It's made with custom painting code, which reduces maintainability and introduces bugs
(e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408190)
This patch removes the vertical category chooser entirely and replaces it with a tabbed
view on the top of the sidebar itself. The tabs are icons-only and have large icons. A
button is added on the left side of the default toolbar to quickly hide or show the
sidebar. In order to make room for the new button, the Previous and Next buttons on the
toolbar are removed, as previous/next buttons are already present on the Page Bar on the
bottom of the window so there's no need to duplicate this functionality. This improves
the UX, fixes a variety of bugs, and deletes a lot of custom code of dubious long-term
maintainability.
BUG: 213508

BUG: 408190
CCBUG: 335189
FIXED-IN: 1.11.0
CHANGELOG: The sidebar can now be easily shown or hidden with a toolbar button, and the category chooser no longer takes up so much space
It's only enabled when the document supports multiple page sizes, that
at the time of writing (and since 13 years) is none
So not great to have an always disabled menu :D
The backend part (Document::supportsPageSizes) is still there, so if we
ever reintroduce a backend that supports it part of the code is there,
and probably we may want to rethink the UI so it only shows when useful,
and not being disabled without possibility of enabling it for say PDF
Summary:
This moves the Continuous option from the View menu to the
View Mode submenu. This makes the View Mode menu (a KActionMenu)
more useful in the main toolbar. Additionally, “Continuous” is explained by the context “View Mode”.
The primary intention was to give this View Mode a similar usage pattern like
the Change Colors menu (D21195), if both are added to the toolbar. See my
suggestion in Bugs 407217 and 407326.
FEATURE: 407326
Screenshot before:

Screenshot now:
{F6821920}
and in the toolbar:
{F6821921}
Test Plan:
* Look into View menu and test entries
* Add View Mode menu to toolbar and test entries

Remove indentation that breaks formatting when compiling with namespaced stylesheets.

Summary:
Currently, some of the items in the {nav Tools} menu have "tool" in the name, and some
do not. This is in any event redundant since they're in a menu with that word in it
already. In the toolbar, these actions become more inconsistent since their names change
and can even differ between what's shown in the pop-up menu and what's shown on the
button text.
This patch regularizes the names, stops changing the names for the toolbar versions, and
updates the docbook accordingly.
