Palette cannot be collapsed anymore #853

Closed falko closed 6 years ago

falko commented 6 years ago

In the latest nightly build, the palette cannot be collapsed anymore. On small screen resolutions, the extra space gained by collapsing the palette is important for navigating larger models.

nikku commented 6 years ago

We removed this "feature" as it was reported to us as a bug on multiple instances (cf. https://github.com/bpmn-io/diagram-js/issues/257).

The collapse / toggle logic itself is still there; you may create your own Camunda Modeler plugin to make it available via the menu or a keyboard shortcut.

As a side note you should try out the new minimap for navigating if screen space is limited.

felix-mueller commented 6 years ago

I really liked the feature, too.

nikku commented 6 years ago

We may consider re-introducing it, hidden behind a menu entry / keyboard shortcut.

falko commented 6 years ago

Wasn't there some research prototype to really maximize screen space and even remove the toolbar? Maybe you would like to consider this as a menu entry / keyboard shortcut and hide all overlays?

nikku commented 6 years ago

Let's step back and discuss the actual use case first. You'd like to see all of the process but you don't have a lot of screen size to do so? Which means collapsing / hiding everything + going full screen would help?

Would you like to model in that mode or is it just meant for navigating?

What does collapsing / hiding include:

Should we save the prior open state to toggle back to it?

falko commented 6 years ago

Yes, all that. I would like to model in fullscreen mode and unfold palette and properties panel as needed.

nikku commented 6 years ago

Closing this issue as we won't bring click toggling back.

I added https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler/issues/883 to provide a keyboard shortcut to toggle the palette.

Added another issue that depicts the focus mode I've mentioned: https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler/issues/884.
