Navigator Panel to the Side (User Preference?)

I don't know about you, but I tend to design Workflows from top-to-bottom but my computer monitor has much more real estate on the x-axis than the y.

Could we get a user preference to move those panels to the left- or right-hand side?  I'd like to use the Navigator more but it's kind of a lot to look at and I can only see about a dozen items at a time as is anyway.  Placing the panel on the side would allow me to see far more items at once which would make it easier to get around.

I wouldn't want to view the comments next to Navigator items in a side panel, just activity ID's or titles (could be another preference and toggle switch), so each item in the navigator could be relatively short (depending on title and id length of course).

If we could get a side panel Navigator that also auto-hides, hoo boy.

Side note: I don't really want to see my form elements and I really don't want to see their subworkflows expanded by default, they make the list overwhelming.  I added another idea about that.
