Yes, very likely the user will use another link from the navigation
menu at the top/at the left.

Well - nice idea, but it has one huge drawback: when you need to
scroll up, it is because you actually did scroll down in the past,
thus the header (and hence the proposed location for the button) is
moved out of sight as one of the first elements :-)

So this won't help.

Credit for that goes to limesurvey site and jquery :-)

Well, not doable (unless I misunderstood and you're suggesting to make
the complete header a fixed element on screen, something which I'd
dislike..
But of course it could be placed at the top-right as well, or in the
middle of the screen, there I don't have a preference
