Output, scrolling, collapsed and UI #807

Open Carreau opened 8 years ago

[marking as 5.0]

I find the "toggle" output/toggle scroll UI confusing, especially with multiple selection. if I have 1 cell collapsed, 1 cell not collapsed and both selected I do not want to "toggle". Even with 1 cell, I do not want to toggle.

Proposal change the

To the following:

It has the nice advantage of being stateless with respect to the current state of the notebook, and we can still have a "smart" toggle that: (collapsed->scrolled->expanded), other direction, or cycle.

Could apply to input as well.

I agree this needs some rethinking. For 5.0 I would like to start with having Cameron do some design work around this. But in general I like the 2 state approach in the new models.

I think I agree with @Carreau. Not only is it confusing to have two different states that affect the same sort of thing, but you also need two different interactions to change the states.
