Feature: Settings UX

[richardm90]

This is mostly me thinking aloud and there are likely lots of good reasons why this wouldn't be possible, or at least easy/desirable.

Whilst working with the compile settings I actually found it easier to copy the compile settings out in to another editor and once I'd updated then accordingly I then copy/pasted them back in to ileditor2 - the reason this was easier is because there is limited space in the settings window.

I was wondering whether the settings could work like the other plugins (member browser, etc) and when selected show the different options in a list where you would see the list of members and then the main editor window could show things such as the compile settings or the list of libraries.

Thanks for your thoughts! This is an interesting take, we'll have to think things through and see where we want the app settings to eventually end up

@connorholyday what is the plan here?

We could either:

• Allow the user to open the JSON in a new table
• Perhaps we could allow the user to make the settings modal full screen or something?

I've just put a change in to make the settings no longer a modal, but instead a fullscreen window.. the compile settings are much nicer.
