In contrast to the very convenient and pretty rest of the bio.tools GUI, the ontology tree widget and the whole Function tab are super inconvenient to use, to the extent of hampering extensive annotations.
Points for improvements follow, most of them regularly re-appearing as oral suggestions from various tools annotators.
And open again when clicked.
At least: definition, primary label, internal synonyms, related concepts (via relations including generalisation).
Using a different type of click.
Note: awesome that deleting the filter string keeps the tree open as is, just adds the previously hidden concepts!
Some brainstroming for further analysis, design, optimisation:
And later also relations between concepts, maybe also definitions, comments, etc.
And probably at the same time a corresponding data model fix (NB. bio-tools/biotoolsxsd#2).
Otherwise very hard to see where a user is looking. Input? Output? Input format? Another function?

Please comment on the above, add +1s where applicable, and add further ideas.
@matuskalas - many of these features are captured in the new Tool Annotator function - the thing we designed at the DK hackathon, which I then mocked-up and which @hansioan did an excellent basic implementation (not yet integrated into bio.tools).
I assign this to @hansioan to pick up on
