    I would like to see a "next" bottom.
    Like if you have a Labour open - click nest, and to get to the next Labour ect.
    Overseer ..........................click next, and to get to the next
    Workshop..........................click next, and to get to the next
    House................................click next, and to get to the next

    Does not matter much, can just follow the order in the lists that already exist.

    The main thing is that to can easily to through every Overseer to look for a special ability, or how many is worried about safety ect.

    Go through every house to check of some is below +2, or count beds :p


    No idea how hard it is to make, just a suggestions that I could use in so many situations.

    The order does not matter so much as just being able to cycle through them while staying in the current window.

    We can sort of do this already but there's a few minor niggles;
    - The workshop window already has a scrolling list for this which is alright (although it will shoot back to the top whenever you click anything, which is a bit irritating); probably could use the right click function to zoom right to the workshop instead of having to click the workshop name, then click the "focus" button.
    - The colonist list can display the colonist details when you click on the names, but does not zoom to colonists when right clicked. It also requires you to open the list which is an extra click and then clicking through the names which also requires you to move the mouse to each one whereas < and > buttons would allow quick cycling without these extra steps
