Okay to bring this thread to a close, here is what my to-do list looks like based on these discussions. No promises mind you but ..

Already In the Next Release (Sigil-1.5.0)

1. Add tag begin end pair highlighting to CV
   
2. Enable automatic selections for common editing operations based on cursor position for CV editing (Bold, Italic, Headings, etc)
   
3. Enable Saved Searches to read in from csv and text files to automate search and replace (ala Atlantis WP similar feature)
   
4. Enable Nav to include of role="doc-toc" on nav toc and similarly for page-list

On the List for Future Versions of Sigil (no particular order and no promises)

1. Add Indicator in Status Bar if epub in old Sigil "Standard Format" or Preference to force load into old format
   
2. Split updating of manual into workable sections and ask for volunteers
   
3. Basic Table-based Metadata Editor with an "advanced" button to go to current one
   
4. Allow users to create their own replacement functions in python3 for Search and Replace
   
5. Add a regex validator to validate regex expressions used in Find and Replace
   
6. Add a flag to limit search to Find in only Open Tabs
   
7. Make Saved Searches keep track of all the search flags they were used with (by saving options flags)
   
8. Make default Shortcuts be smart about use of alt on international systems that use/need alt and altgr
   
9. Flag to control writing of Sigil version to metadata (under consideration only since doable via plugin)
   
10. Some form of supported templating for HTML TOC and Index generation (under consideration but doable by plugin)
    
11. Multiple paragraph justification setting via the CV alignment icon (although PageEdit does this now)
    
12. Add a tool/icon to automatically remove matched begin/end tags based on cursor position in either start or end tag
    
13. Add a regex to be used to build TOC when no headings tags exist (considering but this is against accessibility, as headings are important.)
