Monster Menu improvements

[ptaranat]

As a DM, I would like a way to keep track of multiple monsters and their stats. Rather than favoriting monsters, I would want something like a left arrow or a plus, to add this Monster to my monster list.

• Add multiple monsters of the same type, for example, 5 goblins.
• Rather than using ???, display greyed out placeholder text like, Name and Description, which clears if the user clicks on them, but comes back if they exit. This avoids having to delete text on first click.
• Center Add Custom Monster bar. Maybe it can be the same size with All SRD monsters, and right below it. This leaves more room for favorites/custom monster list.

Most of the interaction with Monsters involve reducing its HP and rolling Strength saves. It is unclear at first that you can click on STR to do a strength save. We should consider making the text of STR, DEX, and WIL more prominent raised buttons, and the numbers of the attributes as flat text boxes. This allows the DM to click on the attribute text to roll a save, and to click on the attribute number to edit it without having to hit the edit key. Otherwise, the DM would more convenient always be in edit move, but they lose out on conveniently rolling saves.

I agree with these, as they are great UX changes for GMs. We've talked about this already so I will just reiterate here the list of proposed changes/features:

• [x] Split the monsters view into monster-list (similar to NPC list; should have raised box bg) and monster-detail (without a box)
• [x] Add creation options similar to NPCs (Create new, etc.), I'm also thinking of adding the view SRD and view random options as a placeholder if no monster is selected.
• [x] Allow users to close current monster detail view (mdi:close icon maybe).
• [x] Allow for bulk adding the same type of SRD monster (would change the icon to mdi:star-plus), i.e. stay on the SRD view after a user adds a monster.
• [x] If a monster is deleted, automatically select the monster that is next in list.
• [x] Replace ???s with more sane placeholders (I've already added the greying-out in be4d77e.
• [x] Improve the UX for edit/roll saves etc.

Something I think might also be useful are monster groups - add filter menu to the top of monster-list (similar to 5E features list) with roman numeral I -> V icons (to save space; add an option to change tooltip with the "real" group name). Every monster item in monster-list could have their group id next to the source icon. A select group input would need to be added to monster-detail. This would allow for easier monster separation to mimic encounters and bulk group deletion.
