Jochen,

If you will start think about second browser at bottom, you will see that
your controls at bottom are located not good.

You need move 
    buttons SAVE/Cancel,
    Show methods
    size of row
    and rest 

into TOP bar.

Also once again take a look on VAPP's floating window
With controls 

    Next/prev
    first/last
    position
    delete   
    sorting // menu of predfined sorts
    
Look how many useful things.


Again, this floating window play very import role in VAPP
    it provide standard/default interface/GUI
    for e.g. First/Last/Prev/Next buttons.

Compare to Filemker, 4D.
They also provide such default buttons.
FileMaker do this in more consistent way IMHO.
It show this as nice control in the book style of left side.
4D generate in each layout default set of buttons,
Which you customize later.

You do not have this now. As I see.

Well, current position is visible on left of each row.
But how I can JUMP to Nth record?


Buttons prev/next we need when we are in the ONE RECORD EDIT mode.
Actually you do  not have now such mode.
In VAPP I did have it.

Because in the LINE mode, it is good to see numbers and small strings,
But it is not good to see MANY LINES Text fields, or Pictures.
And we going to have Custom layouts, so you will need in any case SINGLE
RECORD layout support.

Again, look at 4D, they explicitly define:
        single record layout and
        multi-record layout.
This have sense.
