[bgo#674448] "Raw interface" mode that replaces the message table with gtksourceview window #72

Hallo gtranslator devs

I enjoy using gtranslator because it has a nice clean interface and a nice translation memory function. However, most of the time I also find myself missing ability to simply see the po-file content, with all the different kinds of comments and so on, just as it is in the file.

Therefore I will propose a "raw mode" plugin for GTranslator. What it should do is to replace the message table part of the interface view a source view window that displays the po text representation for the current message, possibly padded on top and bottom with the previous and next messages.

One thing that I have been wondering about when I was thinking about this feature (and about whether or not it is something that I could contribute to myself) is if it is actually possible, from the python extensions to: 1: Modify the GUI 2: Tap into the "change current message" and general "update gui" functionality/signals

Let me know what you think.

Regards Kenneth
