 Replying to [comment:1 joyously]:
 > The Next/Previous and pagination links are all only available when there
 has been a query returning multiple posts or pages.

 I'm not sure this is correct. The only thing needed is a default and/or
 inherited "order by" or set. Posts on the front (all posts page) may have
 a next/previous link, pointing to whichever post as being adjacent in the
 post_date "order by", or in same category set.

 Such "order by", different from default, for an editor can be set as a
 query string and must survive an update by POST. For any editable object.
 This is quite major change and I doubt it's something most users need.

 For users, there is a very convenient "<- Back to users" link appearing
 after an update. This brings back the same table, position and ordering as
 before entering user edit screen. A link like that may be introduced on
 post editing, too.

 The task of going back to the list table after editing a post is not easy,
 as you must go back two "pages" and then refresh. A direct link to that
 screen could be very useful. This was implemented for users once, and I
 don't know why it was not implemented for posts/pages.

 That said, editing the content a lot of posts/pages in a row is kind of an
 edge case, though, given he powerful multi edit functions for all
 attributes, state and author.

 Such serial text/images content editing may, however, be more needed for
 custom post types, maybe like products and so on. In that case, maybe
 plugin territory after all.
