Flashlight mode

[keyserj]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When a diagram gets big, it's hard to navigate, and sometimes the standard filters aren't quite enough.

Describe the solution you'd like A nice general way to navigate a big diagram is to

• select a node to show only it and its neighbors (#380)
• then click another node to reveal that node's neighbors
• keep clicking to reveal new neighbors, as far as desired

We should add a "flashlight mode" button that can be toggled on to allow this click-to-reveal-neighbors functionality.

Also would be good:

• able to individually hide nodes (maybe a separate ticket to add "Nodes to hide" in general filter)
• indicate if a node has hidden neighbors (coloring node's handle seems good still, maybe hover to choose specific neighbors to show?)
