Yes, this is what I want. Maybe I misunderstood what you meant.

Yes, I don't think there's need to change that.

I hadn't noticed that issue on Github. I suppose different translators 
have different mindsets. For some it may be "I don't want to choose, 
just give me some strings to translate" whereas mine would be more like 
"let's see the bigger picture first to keep things consistent".

For example, when adding terms to the glossary, it's extremely useful to 
see what kind of translations there are already for a given term, and 
this kind of overview would be much harder to achieve if I have to click 
through a hundred strings and try to keep then all in my head, instead 
of just looking at a single page.

I'd also like to hear what other people think. I don't think the list 
view has to be necessarily the default, if it can be enabled by just one 
click. But then again, the translate view is also only one click away 
from the list view, so having the list view as the default is by no 
means an unsurmountable obstacle to translators who prefer to click 
through all of the search results.

An ideal solution might be a user-configurable option, but I don't know 
if I could convince Weblate's developers to add that...
