You focuses too much on what preview already show.
But what about splitviewer ?
In a viewer node you can connect any socket to it. You can see Alpha, Normal, Shadow...etc.
You won't speed up workflow if you loose comparaison capabilities . |

| There is a shortcut already (maybe not well known yet) - add at least one viewer node (this could be included in the default node setup) and ctrl-shift-click on a node to connect it to the active viewer node |

| yeah, but the viewer node is still there and taking up space. |

I'm all for removing the viewer node, its cumbersome.
But I agree with Zeauro that we should not lose the ability to view alpha, normal etc. |

| Do alphas and normals have anything to do with the viewer/Splitviewer node? |

Wel in the mockup its not clear if you can specify which output you want to view, presumably only the image output. The renderlayer node has 3 ouputs: image, alpha and Zdepth these cannot be viewed in your current proposal.
The ability to view outputs other then "image" is not a feature I would like to lose in favor of your proposal. |

Good point.
Few ways to fix this:
1) Connect the Zdepth to a composite node, press the eye on the composite.
2) Selection of what you want to see on the header. |

| The eye could be selectable next to each output, not the header. This way youcould select either image, depth or alpha or whatever.... |
