Close the right config panel when clicking an empty spot in the canvas (deselecting a step) #1299

Open lhein opened 1 year ago

Please describe the feature that you want to propose

Currently when clicking on a step the right config panel opens up. You can close it in 2 ways...

The closing via X is a normal and expected thing and I would keep it. The closing via another click on the step is a bit alien from what I see in other tools. Usually when selecting something a config panel shows up and when deselecting it the panel goes away.

What do you think about doing it the same way for Kaoto?

We have actually just implemented this last week via https://github.com/KaotoIO/kaoto-ui/issues/543. Personally I think it's just a convenience for working faster, why wouldn't you want it? If you prefer to close via the X then do that instead.

What do you expect to happen if you click the step and the detail is open already?

I would expect nothing. The pane is already open. What I would usually expect is that the pane vanishes if the node is no longer selected.
